FOR COLLEGE APPLICANTS

Largeenvelope.com was created as an alternative to costly admissions consulting.

As more and more students and anxious parents turn to professionals to help them polish their personal essays, college admissions officers are becoming increasingly critical of these services and skeptical of their results. Largeenvelope.com is one answer to this questionable trend.

LargeEnvelope participants realize many benefits:

• Essays reflect a more honest picture of the student's personality and goals and ultimately result in a better matching of students to university or college.
• Admissions officers are more receptive to essays because the essays sound like they were written by a high school student rather than a 45 year old consultant.
• Students learn about the culture and expectations of various universities by working with enrolled students
• Students are genuinely engaged in writing their personal essay; they feel less stressed by the process and more ownership of the outcome
• Parents save money in the increasingly expensive college admissions process

Private consultants often claim to have an "inside track" into the admissions process at highly competitive campuses. LargeEnvelope actually has an inside track to the top US academic institutions: LargeEnvelope participants have direct access to recently admitted and currently enrolled students who have first hand knowledge of the most up-to-date admissions practices at all of the top universities and colleges in the country. LargeEnvelope mentors have proven their ability to present themselves to the university or college of their choice. After all, who is the real expert---the student who was recently admitted to Harvard, Cal, and Bowdoin or the professional who attended college in the last millennium?
