Why you should listen to us...
Over the last decade, Prompt's team of Writing Coaches has provided expert feedback on over 200,000 college admissions essays. We've researched admissions trends, applied pedagogical best practices, and seen exactly what works through our 1:1 work with high school writers. In just 2024, our students were offered acceptances at 16 of the top 20 nationally-ranked schools, all 20 of the top liberal arts colleges, the top 3 HBCUs, and many other selective schools.
