Abigail Hillman & Associates College Application Prep
The college application coaches at Abigail Hillman & Associates take a student-centered and holistic approach to college consulting that has proven unusually successful. Our goal is to have students emerge from the application process not only confident and prepared for the next phase of their lives, but with a deeper understanding of themselves.
Our focus on authenticity sets us apart. The work done by typical college consulting services too often leads to essays and applications that seek to impress the admissions committee. Experience has shown us how to use different areas of the application to showcase a student’s strengths and skills, while making sure they convey to the admissions committee how they will enrich the campus.
The secret to a great college application? Making sure the student is likable. The admissions committee should finish reading the application and feel like they would be foolish to let this applicant go somewhere else.
