Three modules designed to move you from zero to submission-ready. Each combines guided prep with real human expertise.
Module 1 — Research & Discovery
Complete a detailed questionnaire about your goals, preferences, and profile. We build a personalized college list across four tiers — then you review and approve it live with your coach.
Module 2 — The Kick Start
Uncover your best stories through guided brainstorming — activities, experiences, timed free-writing, and deep-dive exercises. Match your topics to UC and Common App prompts with your editor.
Module 3 — The CAI
Write and revise your essays over 12 structured sessions across 6 weeks. Your editor works alongside you in real time — suggesting edits, leaving comments, and guiding every draft to its best version.
From first questionnaire to final essay — you always know exactly where you are and what to do next.
Answer questions about your academic profile, campus preferences, finances, and goals. This powers your personalized college list.
Meet 1-on-1 with your coach to review your list, adjust tiers, add or remove schools, and lock in your final college list.
Work through activities, experiences, timed free-writes, and dig-deep exercises to uncover your best stories and match them to prompts.
Your editor reviews your brainstorm, refines topic-to-prompt assignments, and sets you up with a clear writing plan for the next 6 weeks.
Over 6 weeks, draft and polish every essay with your editor. Real-time suggestions, inline comments, and version tracking keep you on pace.
Every feature is designed to reduce stress and produce your best work.
Your full profile is analyzed to build a balanced 4-tier list — high reach, reach, target, and safety schools.
Real coaches and editors — not chatbots. Two live calls to review your list and brainstorm before you write.
Your editor suggests changes in real time — accept or reject inline, just like Google Docs suggestion mode.
Always know where you are. Your dashboard shows your current step, next action, and a clear path to completion.
Download your approved college list and brainstorm as polished PDFs. Share your list with family via a private link.
12 writing sessions over 6 weeks keeps you accountable. No last-minute scrambles — just steady, guided progress.
