I really appreciated all your feedback and support—it made a big difference. I wanted to share some updates: I got into Cornell, UCLA, and USC.

The essays turned out great, and I got into and was admitted to Vanderbilt University early decision in December! I really appreciate all your help throughout the process.
I am excitedly attending WashU next year. Your assistance in crafting the essays was extremely helpful. I was able to reuse a lot of essays for regular decision applications, and, more importantly, I was able to utilize your feedback from earlier essays to write more fun essays on my own for my RD schools.
Hi Benjamin, I just read your edits, and love them! I think the piece is much more whole now. Thank you so so much.
So far, I have gotten into every school I've gotten my decision for!
