College Essay Assistance
What Alice Roche Cody likes most about being a writer is telling stories – breathing life to her subjects on the page. She particularly enjoys helping high school students discover and develop their own stories for college essays.
Here’s how the process 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 conversation, she provides a detailed overview. Then, after the student writes a first draft, assistance is provided with the revision process. A seasoned writer and editor, Alice gives suggestions to create a compelling and dynamic essay.
While guidance is provided throughout the process, students write their own essays. In addition, Alice treats all 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.
Successful applications include Georgia Tech, University of Virginia, Rutgers Honors College, Pitt Honors College, Penn State, University of Maryland, George Washington, Northeastern, College of Charleston, The College of New Jersey, High Point, Drexel, Temple, James Madison University and University of Miami.
