The Writer Who Knows Your Subject: Why the Personal Statement Industry Is Splitting Along Disciplinary Lines
There is a particular kind of failure that haunts university admissions offices every January. It is not the badly written personal statement — those are easy to spot and easy to set aside. It is the competently written one that…
The 4,000-Character Gamble: How a Quiet Revolution in University Admissions Is Changing the Way Students Ask for Help
