I am Zak Aldridge, Columbia ‘19, and I'll help you craft your college application with more fun than you thought was possible. I edit your essays for grammar, coherence and style, and show you the tricks to bring out your genius on the page, making admissions officers put your application down with eyebrows raised, thinking "...wow." With one-on-one consultation and in-doc suggestions, I'll share with you my love of writing, which helped me get into Columbia University in 2015, and I will help you evolve as a writer beyond what is required in the college application process. I'll also 'gild' your resumé and activities list, and simulate mock interviews so you're taken care of the whole way through. Working with the Ivy Essay Guild, you will present your best self to colleges and become a much better writer in the process.
