Description

Admissions officers have to read thousands of applications each cycle. While grades, test scores, and even extracurriculars can be similar across candidates, no two essays will be the same.

Join Reuben Stern to learn more about how you can write stellar essays that are both good quality and memorable. With these tips and tricks, you'll be able to craft responses that stand out to admissions officers and boost your application further in the admissions process.

Bio

Hi, I'm Reuben! I am an orchestral conductor, math tutor, I graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University, and then received my master's of music in orchestral conducting at the Johns Hopkins University Peabody Conservatory. I am the founder and music director of the Boston Orchestra Book Club, an ensemble focused on education, equity, and community engagement. For years, I have played bassoon in many orchestras, including the National Youth Orchestra of the USA and the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra. I was music director of the Harvard Bach Society Orchestra and have conducted the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. I have done research in math that has resulted in a paper submitted for publication. I am also a powerlifter, origami artist, and photographer! Through my varied interests, I have come to understand how all facets of your personality make you into an interesting, valuable, and wonderful person, and I am here to help those qualities shine through in your applications. I look forward to working together and helping you reach—and surpass—your goals!
