Yale graduate with English PhD & 20+Years' Experience: Expert Writing & Literature Coaching.

When I was applying to Columbia’s MS in Data Science program, I was looking for someone with experience helping students apply to Ivy League schools who could review my Statement of Purpose. Maggie helped me tremendously in organizing my ideas and, most importantly, shaping the story I wanted to tell. It was important to me that my essay not only reflected my academic background, but also explained why I wanted to join the program, what I hoped to contribute, and why I was a strong candidate. Maggie asked the right questions, identified the parts of my story that were worth highlighting, and helped me turn my ideas into a much clearer, more personal, and compelling essay. Her feedback made a huge difference in my application, and I would absolutely recommend working with her to anyone applying to competitive programs.
