No Story Too Small.

Strategic college & graduate school application guidance.

From a Yale PhD student & NSF Graduate Research Fellow.

How I Help You Succeed

1. Admission Strategy

Application Planning: A strong application starts months before the deadline. We will build a realistic plan so you stay ahead and submit your strongest work without last-minute stress.

Framing Your Background: Your story matters. How you present it matters more. I will help you determine which experiences best support your application and shape them into a strategic narrative that showcases your strengths.

Long-Term Planning: Start where you are. Build deliberately. I will help you help you focus your time and energy on the work that will matter most for your future applications and career.

2. Writing Support

Personal Statements: I will help you craft an authentic narrative that will show reviewers why they should choose you.

Supplemental Essays: We will work through each prompt carefully, connecting your experiences and values to what each school is looking for.

Statements of Purpose: I will help you present a confident academic vision backed by the experiences that make you a compelling candidate.

3. Mock Interviews

I provide direct, supportive interview preparation so you can anticipate questions and communicate your story and goals clearly and confidently when it matters most.

*Note: I do not offer ghostwriting services. Instead, I will guide you through the writing process so your application is thoughtful, authentic, and entirely your own.

  • "We exchanged around four drafts, and each time Poly provided detailed, thoughtful, and actionable feedback. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident submitting materials that truly represented me."
