What role does Collegiate Gateway play in the writing of college essays? Is there a chance that students will appear “packaged”?
Our goal is to help students express their unique voice and perspective, and not to fit into any prescribed “mold”. We do not write essays for students. We brainstorm potential topics for essays, based on our comprehensive understanding of a student’s background, strengths and interests. We review drafts of essays and offer detailed suggestions for improvement. We also review all other supplementary material submitted with applications, including resumes of honors, extracurricular activities, community service and employment, to ensure that students are presenting their background as effectively as possible. The objective is to assist students in identifying and expressing their distinctive strengths, characteristics, perspectives and life experiences, so that their personality shines through all their writing.
