The personal statement is an invitation to someone in a college admissions office whom you will never meet, who is trying to understand who you are in a context of the community that college is seeking to create. Green Ink specializes in helping that invitation become uniquely interesting, and in helping you capture your identity on a single page. You get one chance to make yourself three-dimensional on your college application. We start with a blank page; we teach you the process and enable you to discover the best ways that reflect your voice, consistent with your writing and learning styles. We offer individualized support for each student in the drafting of their personal statement and supplemental essays.

In addition, Green Ink will help you organize and articulate your extra-curricular activities. We have found that too many applicants underestimate the opportunity to present their skills and interests in ways that will be attractive to college admissions officers seeking to understand what an applicant will bring to their colleges’ communities.
