College Application Essay Service

In addition to offering premier tutoring services for the SAT I and SAT II, The Jay Koo Academy offers expert guidance and professional editing to help students write stellar college application essays.

What is the College Application Essay?

Most universities require students to submit one or two personal essays as part of the application process. Unlike the GPA, the SAT, and other statistics, essays help put faces on the application packets that schools receive. An exceptional essay can set a high-achieving student apart from similarly-qualified applicants―and it can also enhance the portfolio of someone with a low SAT score or few extracurricular achievements. Make the most of this opportunity! The Jay Koo Academy is here to help.
