Betsy helped me, a foreign applicant, to understand the importance of an honest, truthful and authentic application essay. She encouraged me to write about topics I was truly passionate about and to let my life story shine through. Betsy taught me how to write with confidence and be on par with native speakers.

Betsy was instrumental in drawing my unique strengths out of me when helping me develop content for the essays. This helped me create a cohesive picture to present to the admissions committee.
