“The college process can be both stressful and exciting. Working with Emily alleviated so much of my stress about writing my college essay. She helped me come up with essay topics and worked patiently and creatively with me so I could write my best work. Emily was very flexible with her availability and would respond quickly with comments and suggestions. Thank you Emily for helping me get into my first choice school!”
“I’m incredibly grateful for your help throughout the college process. You allowed me to be confident in my writing and find my voice (and a Kenyon admissions officer said my essay was one of the best essays she read this year!) I truly enjoyed sharing my writing with you.”
“Emily provided my daughter with the ability to describe and show her true personality. She helped her navigate through her likes and dislikes to find her strengths and determine how to present her authentic self to the colleges she was applying to. Emily was kind, patient and funny. She brought a lightness to the table which we very much needed. My daughter looked forward to her sessions with Emily rather than dreading this step in the application process. Emily helped my daughter dive deep in order to enable her to write from her heart and show the colleges who she is and why she is special. Emily made this process enjoyable, which I found shocking! And my daughter was so proud of what she accomplished with Emily’s guidance. I highly recommend Emily Cappo to help make your college application experience the opposite of what everyone complains it is like.”
“We are so grateful for how helpful Emily was during our daughter, Phoebe’s college application process. Emily was patient and positive and she always made sure that Phoebe was comfortable with all the suggestions and edits. Emily went above and beyond when we needed support and advice when Phoebe was deferred from her first choice. Her experience in the field and her knowledge of the process helped us rest easy during a stressful time. I think that Emily was as excited as we were when Phoebe ultimately got in to her dream school! Our son is a 10th grader and we will definitely have Emily help him too! ”
“My daughter’s (and my) experience with Emily was so valuable and positive. Emily created a fun, relaxing environment and helped empower my daughter to truly bring her personality out in her college essays. Emily helped her bring out her best in what can be a very stressful time for high school students.”
“I am so grateful for the guidance both of my daughters received from Emily. With my older daughter Samantha, Emily aided her in tweaking several of her essays, while keeping her ideas intact. Working with Emily gave Samantha the confidence she needed, along with a timeline that was critical to her success and admittance to the school of her dreams, University of Michigan. It was also a no-brainer to contact Emily two years later to help our other daughter, Jessica with her essays. Emily brainstormed with Jessica to find a topic that was unique to her and that she felt exemplified her personal story. I was so appreciative of Emily’s patience and encouragement with her, because Jessica needed someone else’s involvement to get her ideas across and ultimately submit several fantastic college essays. This fall, both my girls will be at the University of Michigan together, thanks in part to Emily!”
“Emily was awesome! She was willing to accommodate our tight schedule and meet at a mutually convenient time. Her turnaround time for essay feedback was very quick. She was always available to discuss any questions that my son or I had. And, the best part was that he was accepted into his first-choice college! I have one more child in high school and will definitely have Emily work with him, too. Thank you so much for all of your help!”
“We all begin the college process filled with a mixture of excitement and dread. It’s a daunting process that takes copious amounts of research, foresight and hard work. Working with Emily Cappo, helped eliminate so much stress for my daughter. Emily is incredibly well-informed, smart, and reassuring, helping demystify college essays and supplements and helped my daughter find her voice. Without a doubt, Emily’s guidance and expertise played a tremendous role in my daughter’s success. We were all thrilled when my daughter was accepted into her first-choice school.”
