New book out January 31, 2023! This Month I'll Research My Dream School: Rocket Fuel For Your College Admissions Journey (An Admissions Control Student Guide to Getting Into College) https://www.amazon.com/This-Month-Research-Dream-School/dp/1960476009
As a former professor (psychology, world literatures, writing programs, film & media studies), admissions officer, and international secondary school director Professor Jake has advised thousands of students through every aspect of the academic process. He then perfected the process of helping people find their unique voice and most powerful stories as a political ghostwriter, writing workshop leader, and literary journal editor. He works full time as an educational consultant for an international organization that supports students preparing for highly competitive college admissions beginning in the 8th grade and going all the way through graduate school. In addition to college applications he also mentors independent research and writing projects, advises competitive secondary school and summer program essays and applications.
Professor Jake's "Common App Brainstorming Session" has been studied by researchers at Cornell University and is the creative sandbox for his upcoming book, *You are the Hero and This is Your Story: Your guide to writing personal statements that will set you free from fear, set you apart from your peers, and set you up for success at even the most highly selective universities.* (Where cutting-edge neuroscientific research meets ancient storytelling wisdom!)
