    Parent of University of Colorado, Boulder Student

    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!

    "Ms. Sale was very patient and effective with my son. She taught him how to pay closer attention to what he was writing. He was one of only two seniors who got 100% on his English test for his summer reading project."

    Parent of SUNY Binghampton Student

    "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!"

    Working with Michelle Sale was an absolute game-changer for both of my kids during the college application process. She helped my daughter craft a truly exceptional college essay, one that not only captured her unique voice but also stood out in a record-breaking applicant pool. Thanks to Michelle's expert guidance, my daughter was accepted to every school she applied to, including Northeastern University, which had an ultra-competitive 5.2% acceptance rate. That alone speaks volumes.
