Why a Gifted Student Who Never Needs Help Hired Wow

Sophie is not the kind of student who needs help. She taught herself BC Calculus when it wasn’t offered at her high school. She tutored classmates in advanced chemistry and physics. When it was time to apply to college, Sophie did the research and picked her own schools. Along the way, she signed up for a free Wow class and read our book cover to cover.

Imagine her surprise when she sat down to write her essays and still felt stumped. Effective essays could only strengthen her application, and she felt like the ones she was writing didn’t represent her strengths.

Fortunately, Sophie was insightful enough to know she needed help.

That’s when she called and asked to work with a Wow coach. We got her back on track, guiding her through our process with a plan, simple instructions, and a schedule to tackle all of the writing tasks for four highly selective schools.

Her mom was delighted, too: “You are truly a magician! Her essays are amazing.”
