Let’s talk about your essay.

As if applying to 10+ competitive BFA programs, assembling portfolios, memorizing monologues, and putting together your perfect audition/interview outfit wasn’t enough to send you over the edge, you also have to write a bunch of essays.

Wrack those brains, come up with your challenge-or-achievement-that-made-you-a-better-person, your activity-or-interest-that-your-application-would-be-incomplete-without, or everybody’s favorite, the topic-of-your-choice, and hammer out your 650 words. You already know from my book what NOT to write about, but how do you know your essay is admissions committee-worthy?

Have I got great news for you.

LRP’s ED inbox. Ever have to edit your way out?

Our partner in Application Success, Little Red Pen, is now accepting Regular Decision application essays (and resumes!) to edit, optimize, and polish up until they shine like the stars who wrote them. Not an essay-writing service (which is really unethical, guys), LRP takes your finished essay and edits for grammar, style, readability, and word limit. Basically, LRP makes you stand out in a GOOD way.

Little Red Pen offers three different levels of service for your essay or resume. Take a look, but don’t wait too long… if the Early Decision Deadline order queue was any indication, the months leading up to Regular Decision are going to be packed, and it will be hard to get a slot.

You can find Little Red Pen, working via Fiverr.com, here.
