Do not just take my word for it. Read what my clients have to say about their experience with Deb Applebaum College Essay Coach. 

"Entering the college application process, I began intimidated and overwhelmed, as I desired an unconventional degree in the highly competitive world of film. Seeking guidance from a professional with years of experience, I turned to Ms. Applebaum for personalized help. From our very first meeting, I gravitated toward her kindness and undeniable passion. Within only a few sessions, she quickly identified my strengths, and together, we seamlessly integrated those characteristics into a number of exceptional essays. Her empathetic nature and willingness to invest wholeheartedly in my success inspired me to pursue the very best version of myself. Due in no small part to Ms. Applebaum’s extraordinary guidance, I will be attending NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts this fall. Collaborating with Ms. Applebaum was one of the best decisions I made, and I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Ms. Applebaum was a spectacular help in the essay writing process. I was given help every step of the way, with her keen eye for detail and tremendous thoughtfulness. She taught me skills I intend to take with me into all my years of my first-choice college, which I got into in no small part because of her."

"When I entered high school, college felt light years away. Soon enough, during the summer of my Junior year, I felt overwhelmed and overstimulated with the college application process. I truly felt I wouldn't get into anywhere. I always considered myself an average student, and did not comprehend what separated me from other applicants. That is when I decided I needed help, not just from any teacher, but a professional with experience dealing with situations like mine. This Fall, I am attending Vanderbilt. If that doesn't speak volumes for Ms. Applebaum's guidance, then I do not know what does."

"I had a wonderful time working with Ms. Applebaum. She went out of her way to understand how I think and helped transform my ideas into essays that truly portray my true character. An overwhelming and stressful process became manageable with her guidance, and I am so thankful to have had that level of support."
