College Application Consulting Services

Our clients come to us at varying stages of the application process, with distinct needs and aspirations. Concomitantly, our services can be tailored to fit your needs. Below, you will find an a la carte menu of service options — you can choose exactly what you need to make your applications sing. 

If you’re unsure which package best fits your needs, just reach out — we’re always happy to chat.

Brainstorm Bell

45 to 60 minutes of brainstorming any of your written submissions. This package is best for applicants who are struggling to produce a compelling draft of their writing. How do you want to tell your story? What structure will best suit your narrative? Where do you want it to conclude? At the end of this brainstorm, we’ll send a follow-up email summarizing our chat, with concrete actionable steps – the goal is to ensure that you leave feeling ready to begin writing and aren’t left facing an intimidating blank screen.


Price: $350

Golden Cowbell

Support from start to finish. This package offers a 60-minute brainstorm meeting, written comments on up to three drafts of any written element of your application, and up to two hours of follow-up conversations with Katie.

Price: $1,450

Brilliant Bell

Our mainstay service! This is a stellar option for application essays where the main task is polishing and refining an already strong draft. Written comments on one draft of your personal statement, along with one 30-minute follow-up meeting with Katie.

More Cowbell!

This package is an extension of the Brilliant Bell. Rather than offering written comments on just one draft of your chosen application essay, this version offers two rounds of written feedback. After each round, you will receive a 30-minute follow-up meeting with Katie.
