Why Your Essays Matter

Your college essays are more than just a formality — they can be the deciding factor in your competitive arts application. Here’s why focusing on them is crucial:

Over 80% of students have the grades and test scores to get into their dream schools, signifying academics alone won't get you in. Essays can multiply your chances of acceptance by 10x.
Selective schools and programs often require multiple essays, making them a critical part of the admissions process. Prompt guides you through writing your personal statement, school supplements, and more.
No matter the major — whether it's business, arts, humanities, or engineering — our expert coaches help students showcase their unique achievements and experiences in a way that’s engaging and authentic.
Bonus! Many of our students leave with stronger writing skills, reducing the need for remedial courses and giving them a head start in their core classes.
"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."

“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.”
- Student, University of Pennsylvania - Wharton 2022
“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."
- 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
