Amanda was so incredibly helpful with my son's college application process. Amanda took the time to get to know his unique personality and then helped him navigate through the application process. The feedback and guidance Amanda provided on his essays was amazing. Amanda expertise, patience, encouragement, and guidance made all the difference in the application process. Amanda is amazing!

Writing college admission essays can be an overwhelming task. Lynsey was able to walk me through the steps to make this a successful and positive experience. She was able to support and organize the ideas in my essays that were true to my words but gave me the guidance I needed to make it polished, concise, and interesting to the reader. Lynsey provided helpful feedback, thoughtful questions, and ideas to really bring out the strong points to my essays. Her genuine kindness put me at ease and made me feel like she was invested in my success. I could not have done this without her.

Loved working with Susie. She didn’t waste any time jumping in and efficiently and effectively helping my son edit his essays. She gave directions that helped on all his essays. Susie had a real understanding of all the components needed to fully respond to each of the parts of the essay questions.
Everything is about time and she doesn’t waste any! Put be our minds at ease.

Kim helped me rock my transfer application essays to get into BYU! Without her help I might not have gotten in because she helped me get into the right mind space and taught me how to carefully review and edit my opening hooks. I improved in my writing skills because of her advice and suggestions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should sign up for the bootcamp?

Anyone serious about getting into BYU. We do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible to navigate this competitive application process.  

What if I’m not applying this year? 

The earlier you are, the more time you have to prepare. The number one mistake that applicants make is not giving themselves enough time to strengthen their application. This bootcamp is a great way to avoid that and make sure you're starting off on the right foot.

What will I learn?

This bootcamp is designed to fully equip you for applications to BYU. By the end of the five sessions, you will: 
- have a clear idea of the best narrative and app strategy for your background and goals.
- know who to select for your recommenders and have completed a polished recommender prep doc.
- have an outline for your essays and have started drafting them
- ... and more! 

The curriculum also includes custom assignments and personalized interactive activities for maximum impact. BYU applications are competitive, but this bootcamp will give you the tools you need to stand out.

Can I also receive 1:1 personal coaching for my BYU application?
