    My daughter and I set a goal to have all college/Common App essays completed by the end of the summer leading into senior year. Getting a kid to sit down, focus, and put the time and energy into writing thoughtful essays during the summer is no easy task, but Michelle helped set a timeline and it likely wouldn’t have happened without her support! Together they stuck to the deadlines they set, brainstormed, and created multiple essays I know my daughter felt very proud of. Michelle knows her audience and is engaging, fun, yet also tough when necessary. I will be recommending her to friends with rising seniors and highly recommend her to all of you checking out her website. Thank you, Michelle!

    "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!"

    "Michelle helped my firstborn and was great! She helped him with the common app essay and about 20 supplemental essays for 10 different colleges. She was so flexible and generous with her schedule as well. My son ended up getting a full tuition scholarship to University of Miami, and I know Michelle was part of that success. I will definitely be hiring her again for my next kid coming up the pike. Thank you again Michelle!"

    Student of University of Wisconsin

    My parents signed me up to work with Michelle last year, and all I can say is that it was the best decision we could've done. She helped me so much with my writing and storytelling that were able to come up with a compelling essay that really showed who I truly am. Michelle not only helped me get into top tier colleges like Mount Holyoke College and University of Vermont, she also helped me get into my dream school, University of Wisconsin - Madison. She was kind and patient and made me feel confident in my essay writing. I own her a big thanks for helping me with my future.
