    "I was extremely nervous to begin my personal essay. From the second I began brainstorming with Michelle, I felt comfortable and actually wanted to work on my essay. Whenever I felt stuck, Michelle helped in a way that pushed me to figure it out myself, while never letting me feel like I was in this alone. With her constant support and friendly energy, I was able to write an essay I am proud of and get into the business school of my dreams, the Ross School at the University of Michigan."

    Michelle has been phenomenal to work with. I am applying to medical schools for the 2025 application cycle and with her help I have crafted well-thought-out responses to every secondary application that I have received. Where Michelle really shines is after you work with her for a month or two and you really get to know each other. After that, it feels more like a friendship. Her writing style is fantastic and as long as you can provide enough information, she can help you craft an incredibly strong response to anything. Michelle truly cares about her clients and this is shown when she goes above and beyond for them. I can text her at any time at a reasonable hour and I can expect a response within the next 30 minutes. She is willing to sit down and review work almost any day and I cant wait to see where I get into with her help!

    "We are very pleased that our son was accepted to almost all the schools he applied to and we are thrilled that he will be attending SUNY Binghamton in September. We could not be happier. We believe we owe it in no small part to the essay Ms. Sale helped Jonathan to write. He is a very bright kid with great ideas. I hired Ms. Sale to help Jonathan because I thought he needed some help in “tightening” his thoughts to produce a competitive essay. I could not help him because I do not know what colleges look for in their essay… but we all know they do look at them! I strongly recommend that other parents consider working with Ms. Sale for their college-bound students. We certainly got our money’s worth!"

    "I was extremely satisfied with the College Application Essay workshop. I applied to eight schools, including Binghamton, James Madison, Penn State, and UMass (Amherst). I was admitted to every school except Binghamton, where I was waitlisted. I really believe that I got into the majority of these schools because of my [unique] essay. Thank you so much for your help and I will definitely recommend you."

    Michelle worked with my son, and I can honestly say he wrote the best essay of his entire 12 years of school with her help. He got into his top-choice colleges as well, and most importantly, he came away from the process feeling confident and proud of his work.  Michelle has a gift, not just for writing, but for connecting with students and helping them find their authentic voice. I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone navigating the college admissions process.
