Testimonials
-
“Pete was an incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and efficient writing tutor. I sincerely believe the guidance that Pete gave me helped me garner my two acceptances. I applied to almost twice the number of medical schools people usually apply to, and Pete was able to help me out with all of them in a timely manner. He edited essays line-by-line and helped me develop coherent ideas. When my ideas were unclear or underdeveloped, he encouraged me to think deeper. This is one of Pete's greatest strengths. He is able to not only spot awkward sentences, but also underdeveloped ideas. In this way, he helped me become both a stronger applicant and a better writer.”

“Pete was a critical component in my medical school admissions process. He had a number of insights about how to draw the best anecdotes out of my life stories, and helped me write an authentic and professional narrative. Regardless of the outcome of this application cycle, I plan to use these lessons in other professional applications I'll be required to submit in the future.”
