College Essay Resources - IECA

We work well with counselors and consultants because we all care about the same thing: helping students get into the schools of their dreams. We focus exclusively on the essay – you’re already an expert on the rest of the admission process. We’re writers, teachers and problem-solvers; we’ll work with you to find the right solutions for you and your students. Tell us what you need. We’ll figure out how to get there.

At first, essays were the thing I worried about most. It wasn’t until the Wow training that it all clicked. I feel like a burden has been lifted.

Wow’s process simply works. No shortcuts, no bells and whistles, but rather a structured, creative process developed by working writers who believe every student has a story to tell. Just as important, they respect my relationship with my clients.

The Wow Method makes so much sense; it captures the most important parts of the essay in a digestible way. Students really get it.

The most valuable part of the training was writing the essay. Now I can tell parents and students: “I have been through this. I know how it feels.”
