We help students make essays the strongest aspect of their applications
A college essay is not an academic essay, and it’s not an essay that you would write in English class. College essays are a completely unique type of writing that somehow became one of the most important parts of a college application — despite the fact that almost no student is ever really taught how to write them in high school.
At CollegeVine, we’ve perfected the art of writing essays and help students turn them into their secret weapons. And since we know that every student’s goals are different, we’ve created two different ways to work with us on your essays.

What Clients Say

Parent, son accepted to Cornell
I am a big fan of CollegeVine and the CollegeVine process. You don’t write the essays and you leave the author’s voice and work intact. You primarily give suggestions. This is the right way. Alexander’s writing actually improved dramatically through the process. I can honestly say that his writing skills grew tremendously in those two months - more than in his classes! I am already enthusiastically recommending CollegeVine to friends.
