The problem
You're applying to 8 schools. Each one wants a different essay. Your Common App personal statement needs to work everywhere while somehow being deeply personal and unique. Cool. No pressure.
You've read every 'how to write a college essay' blog post on the internet. You know you're supposed to 'show, not tell' and 'find your voice.' But you're 17 and your voice is mostly anxious.
Your parents are hovering. Your college counselor has 300 other students. That $200/hour admissions consultant your friend's parents hired is not in the budget.
You don't need someone to write your essays. You need something that helps you figure out what makes you interesting — then helps you say it well, across every application.
The math
College admissions consultant: $2,000-10,000
Essay coaching (per session): $100-250/hour
CollegeVine or similar tools: $200+/year
Lazy College Apps: $49. Once.
Less than one session with an admissions consultant. Covers every school on your list.
