Working with Razi completely transformed my application. The breakthrough came unexpectedly. While working on a Cornell supplement about community, I wrote about rebuilding my karate dojo and the five values on our wall. Razi immediately said, 'This needs to be your personal statement.' He was right, as it captured the empathy and community focus I wanted to show.What surprised me most was learning essays should be stories, not formal statements. Razi pushed me to rewrite multiple times, adding examples and showing rather than telling. He even helped me write about playing video games with my dad, something I never thought would work. But it did, because it was authentic.His feedback was honest and critical, but that's exactly what I needed. If you're on the fence about getting help, do it. There's more to change than you think, and it's worth rewriting as many times as it takes for the next major part of your life.

Ivy educated guidance.
Ivy League Bound results.
The college consulting industry is flooded with former admissions officers who may know what colleges want, but not how to help students discover who they are. Without trust, there’s no growth. Without growth, there’s no story. Other consultants push students toward trophies and titles, not meaning.
At League Bound, we believe college guidance starts with what students love, not what looks good on paper. Because when genuine curiosity drives choices, amazing activities, stellar letters of recommendation, and perfect essays follow.
In short? Create the experiences worth writing about, then craft the essays that bring your story to life.See more
