College Essay Assistance
What Alice Roche Cody likes most about being a writer is telling stories – she enjoys breathing life to her subjects on the page. To that end, she particularly likes helping high school students discover and develop their own stories for their college essays.
Here’s how the process traditionally works: During a consultation, Alice talks with the student to help determine the best topic. An experienced interviewer, she knows what questions to ask to draw her subjects out. After this initial meeting, Alice provides a detailed overview. Then, after the student writes a draft, Alice assists with the revision process. A seasoned writer and editor, she knows how to give suggestions in order to create a compelling and dynamic essay.
While Alice offers guidance throughout this entire process, please note that she does not write essays for any student. In addition, Alice treats all student interactions as confidential, strictly between her and the student. As essay topics can be highly personal, this trust must be established in order to create a safe space for the student to share his or her experiences. Alice views working with high school students a privilege, and she recognizes the delicate nature of this advisory role.
Services can be added or trimmed, based on individual needs. While Alice can work with a student at any time, it’s best to get started the summer before senior year. Assistance for supplemental essays can also be provided.
Successful applications include Georgia Tech, Rutgers, Penn State, University of Maryland, Pitt, George Washington, College of Charleston and University of Miami.
