"Want to write an unforgettable college admissions essay? Let me help you do it.

My name is Ian Arnold. I'm a published writer and editor, NYU graduate, and college admissions essay coach with 6 years of experience helping college applicants to receive admission into their dream schools. Students I've worked with have entered universities, including Columbia, Brown, and Georgetown. I'm new to the Wyzant platform but not to this work. I've worked with students of all writing levels at multiple elite college admissions consulting companies, helping them find their authentic voices and express their unique stories.

You are not alone if you feel overwhelmed with the college admissions process. Most students I've worked with, including those with impressive resumes, GPAs, and test scores, don’t know how to write about themselves. College admissions essays now factor even more heavily in the admissions process since many colleges are not weighing standardized test scores to the degree they did before.

Together, we'll undergo a thorough brainstorming process. I will give you a series of prompts to help you uncover the best topic for you to write about and the best way to go about writing it. During the writing phase, YOU will do the writing, and I will be there each step of the way to support you, offer feedback, and ensure that your essays are as true to your experience as possible, in your voice, and will blow the socks off of the admissions officers who will read them.

Most students I work with benefit from 8 - 16 meetings to perfect their essays. However, I am more than willing to support you wherever you are in the writing and revising process. If you are simply looking for an editor, I can also help you there.

If you like what you are reading, please reach out. I am happy to offer you a free 15-minute phone consultation to see how I can best support you and answer any questions you may have." less...
