Absolutely not. Our coaches guide students through brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and revising. The essays are 100% student-written and authentically reflect their voice, experiences, and perspectives. We ensure compliance with all university authenticity policies.
Yes! We hold monthly parent strategy calls, share progress reports, and provide guidance on how to support your student without causing stress. Our goal is to make this a collaborative, transparent experience for the whole family.
