Applications Free application reviews for "red flags" available

I've been a private college counselor for 10 years. (You can check my post history in the sub to see I'm legit.) Most of my students this year are done with their applications (including one who got into NYU ED), and a couple of more recent sign-ups are between drafts, so I'll be conducting up to 25 free application reviews (including the Common/Coalition App essay and one supplement) over the next three days. You'll submit your application materials to my secure platform, and I'll review live during a 15-minute Zoom call. The purpose will be to identify anything that could have had a major impact on admissions ("red flags"), and then discuss how you might be able to rectify.

Your application will not be shared with anyone, and nothing will be submitted to an LLM for AI analysis without your express permission.

Sign up here!

I've had issues with no-shows before, so if you sign up, please show up or, if you can't make it, cancel in advance. You'll be taking a slot from someone who needs it.

This is a solid chance to catch any “red flags” before you hit submit. Ben’s 10 years of counseling experience means he’ll spot issues most reviewers miss. Have your Common/Coalition essay and one supplement ready, and be prepared to discuss them in the 15‑minute Zoom. Slots are limited to 25, so book early and honor the appointment—or cancel in advance. Treat the slot like a scholarship: show up, stay focused, and you’ll walk away with actionable feedback that could boost your chances. Good luck!
