Sherry Tehrani, Esq., College Professor and Attorney

Getting Accepted

The personal statement is the applicant’s primary opportunity to communicate to admissions committees.  A well-drafted essay may be the applicant’s key to secure entry into the right school.

The Personal Statement Push

In college admissions, aside from test scores and grade point average, the most crucial component is the essay. Sherry works with students to push them into the acceptance pile.

Where to Begin

The most fundamental step is topic selection, allowing for an applicant to shed insight into his/her exceptional qualifications. Sherry relates to applicants and helps them identify their personal story.

Your Story: Your Case for Admission

The personal statement should not be a list of the applicant’s activities. Rather, admissions committees look to the essay for a sense of the student’s individuality. Here, the committee understands the applicant’s nuances, how he/she may add to the student body and carry on the institution’s legacy.

Perfected Final Draft

Sherry coaches students to write their best personal statement. Subsequent to topic selection, style and developed content ensure the final product. Together, Sherry will work with the applicant through multiple iterations until the final draft is perfected.
