From our students
Hundreds of students have benefited from a better way to write their college essays
The feedback is so great! I had my friends read each of my essays but they didn’t pick up on half the stuff. I realized I need to say more about myself in my personal essay writing.
Nikki W.

I really like the lessons on Leadovate because they were way more specific than anything my teachers showed me or I found online.
