People ask, "What's the biggest value Prompt provides?" Compelling content. Clear writing. Accountability.

01

Developing your personal brand.

02

Identifying what to write about for every part of the application.

03

Making your ideas concise and compelling.

04

Making your writing clear.

05

Holding you accountable.

1. Developing your personal brand.

We help you tie your most compelling content into a cohesive narrative that relates to the 5 Traits Colleges Look For in Applicants: drive, intellectual curiosity, initiative, contribution, and diversity of experiences.

2. Identifying what to write about for every part of the application.

We help you brainstorm compelling content, match content to each part of each application (essays, activities lists, additional information, portfolios), and outline your writing for each part.

3. Making your ideas concise and compelling.

We help you identify how to shorten your writing (usually by 40-60%). Word count is at a premium. And being concise will help you fit in more content, providing a clearer picture of why you are extraordinary.

4. Making your writing clear.

We help you structure your essays and write in ways that admissions officers will easily understand. Admissions officers only spend an average of 8 minutes per application. So being clear and easy to read is critical.

5. Holding you accountable.

Procrastination is the #1 cause of not being accepted. Over 90% of students scramble to complete their essays, submitting their applications within 48 hours of the deadline. Prompt holds you accountable to the timeline you agreed upon.

“Stats alone cannot get your child into a top 20 college anymore. You need interesting and unique essays to show why your child is not only a fit for that college, but what they can do for them."

"Prompt's approach is based on data and succeeds in the way coaches work with students. There were several interactions per essay, always with a quick turnaround time. AND our student is now a way better and more confident writer."
- Parent of Yale University 2022 Admit
“I honestly cannot thank Prompt enough for their guidance and knowledge. Not only is Prompt's team creative but they are passionate about what they do and it shows through their feedback.”

- Parent, Harvard University 2022
“I was in a panic because my daughter needed a coach who could review and provide important feedback during the long holiday week before the deadlines. When my daughter's stress and anxiety reached an all-time high, the coach quickly scheduled more calls and motivated my daughter towards the finish line. I wish I had enrolled my daughter sooner!”
- Parent, TG, University of Southern California - Town&Gown Scholarship 2021
