Essay Review and College Admissions Consulting Services


Need comprehensive writing support for your UC Personal Insight Questions and Common App/Supplemental Essays? I highly recommend Euphony Coaching! I have been working with its founder, Angie Bates, since 2015 and I trust her expertise implicitly. Angie excels at guiding students through diverse and complex writing requirements of the various college applications in a timely fashion and her writing coaches are outstanding content organizers and editors, very detail-oriented, and great at condensing/trimming content without losing pertinent information. This makes Euphony Coaching ideal for students seeking nuanced, supportive feedback for the UC, Common App, and other college application essays!
