Get personalized written feedback from a Harvard student who has used these strategies himself and helped students strengthen applications to get into Harvard and top colleges. Find out what’s working, what’s weakening your application, and exactly what to improve next.
I know how difficult it can be to judge your own college application. After being rejected from Stanford, I completely rethought how I approached admissions and ultimately earned admission to Harvard, Brown, Penn, Cornell, and other top universities with over $300,000 in scholarships.
Since then, I’ve helped students strengthen their essays, position their experiences more strategically, and understand what makes an application stand out.
I’ll show you what’s working, what needs improvement, and what to prioritize before you submit.
I had strong experiences, but I wasn’t sure if my application actually felt cohesive. Chancen helped me identify what was strongest, what was distracting from my story, and what I should prioritize before submitting. The feedback made my application feel much more intentional.
The essay feedback was incredibly helpful because it wasn’t just grammar edits. He pointed out where my story was losing impact, what parts felt generic, and how I could make the essay sound more personal without changing my voice.
The combined profile and essay review helped me see my application as a whole. I realized that some of the things I thought were weaknesses actually supported my story, while other parts needed much more attention. That perspective was really valuable.
Before the review, I kept making random changes because I didn’t know what actually mattered. After getting feedback, I had a clear priority list and felt much more confident about what to improve before submitting my applications.
I was honestly overwhelmed trying to figure out whether my activities, honors, and essays were competitive enough for my target schools. The profile review gave me a much clearer idea of my strengths and weaknesses and exactly what I should work on next.
What I liked most was how specific the feedback was. Instead of just saying my essay was ‘good,’ Chancen explained which parts were memorable, which parts weren’t adding much, and how I could restructure it to make the overall story stronger.
