No-Stress College Application and Essay Coaching

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.

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!

"The feedback that was given to me regarding each essay proved to be a valuable asset when I was writing supplements later on in the year. Michelle Sale gave me an accurate, and almost fool-proof way to develop college essays into more than just an essay; the essays I wrote truly captured my inner voice that was not on the paper before."

"I started to work with Michelle in the fall of 2011. I initially came to her for SAT practice. Michelle really prepped me for the SAT’s by giving me tips and tricks to get more questions correct, and I felt very knowledgeable of the test after my time with her. In addition, the summer before my senior year, I joined Michelle’s workshop to work on my college application essay. I am really glad I joined her class since I got the essay out of the way and I was able to devote all my focus and time to it. With Michelle’s help, I am extremely satisfied with my essay. Also, Michelle helped me with essay writing for my English class in school. In fact, one essay was entered into a competition–and I won!"

"Just being at a desk with no distractions was very helpful for me, and writing multiple essay topics is good so students are able to switch between ideas."
