College Essay Advising

At Sage College Prep, we help students dig deep to discover the stories that define them. Our college essay advising isn't just about editing — it's about cultivating insight about ourselves. Through one-on-one guidance, we help students turn life experiences into powerful personal statements that resonate with admissions teams. This is more than a college essay — it's the moment when your voice takes root and the seeds of your future begin to grow.

We create a supportive space where students can reflect honestly and write with purpose. By encouraging meaningful self-discovery, we help each student express not only who they are, but who they’re becoming. The result is a compelling, authentic essay that grows from within and stands out where it matters most.

Short Courses

We also offer engaging, short courses (4-8 weeks) on a variety of topics designed not only to improve students' analytical skills, but also to deepen students' understanding of and appreciation for the literary tradition. These courses can be taken individually or in small groups. Students interested in developing their creative writing skills can also enroll in a Creative Writing short course.
