"When I first started writing my college essays, I had no idea what I should have been writing about or how to show myself in the best light. I wrote an essay that I thought was pretty decent and submitted it to University Connections through Leadership Initiatives.

Not only did they revise my essay and leave suggestions, but they also helped me get it to the appropriate word count and helped me rework ideas to create an amazing essay that helped me get into my dream college!"

"I am so grateful for the editors at University Connections for constantly looking through my essays and allowing me to submit a flawless and well-rounded essay to each of my colleges.

I truly believe University Connections and their staff is one of the main reasons why I will be attending my dream school, the University of Notre Dame, in the Fall. The immense amount of opportunities Leadership Initiatives is unparalleled and incomparable to any other program out there!"

"When I first started the college application process, I had no clue how I was going to write my essays and what I was going to say. I was constantly stressing and worried that I was writing about the wrong things until I got into contact with University Connections.

Working with them on my college essay was the easiest part of my college process because of how helpful they were. They gave great ideas to make my essay stronger and also help with little grammatical errors that I was confused about. Without this help, I believe that I would have never been able to get into some of the schools that I was accepted to."

"Writing my college essay was a lot harder than I thought it would be, and it took a lot longer than what I thought it would. Only a few weeks before my essays were due, I had finally finished them, but no one had looked over them yet.

To say I was panicking would be an understatement, but luckily I sent them to be revied by University Connection, and they were returned promptly and with incredible suggestions. Not only that but after I fixed the wrong things, they looked over my essay another time to make sure it was perfect!"
