“McKenzie is an excellent coach for university application essays. She made a lot of effort in guiding my essay writing process, so I was able to highlight my strengths and make myself a more attractive candidate to universities.
She also used her expertise to provide me with many useful personalized feedbacks, which increased my confidence and chances of getting into my dream program.”
“As a high-level athlete, I didn’t have the time to navigate the complex college admissions process alone. And the other service I had used prior to Youthfully didn’t have the comprehensiveness I needed.
My dream school was Stanford, and to get in, we needed a holistic strategy: reference letters, essays, extracurricular profile, internships, athletic scholarship guidance, and more.
This approach paid off as it led to an offer and I am grateful for Youthfully, who I still use for career coaching, for helping me reach my potential.”
“I started Youthfully after already finishing my application essays, and so I was just expecting some coaching on my interview skills.
However, Jess was able to noticeably improve the quality of my essays. I can confidently say that compared to before, I do have a much higher chance of getting into my desired university. Not only that, I received great coaching on how to succeed in interviews, and how to stand out among the rest.
In general, being able to talk to someone much more experienced like Jess and ask for advice and guidance did so much to help ease my mind about this process, and I highly recommend it!”
“My experience with [Youthfully] has been extremely positive. Alex was extremely helpful not only with the actual application process itself, but also with providing support and advice from start to end. I cannot be happier with my decision to have completed my journey here!”
“Alana put me on track and helped me formulate a well-structured and articulated essays tailored to the University in which I’m applying; I couldn’t have done it without her.”
“Simran was very helpful and provided lots of great insight to help me craft my personal profile.
She offered me great support in this very stressful time of university applications. I am satisfied with my classes with Simran and Youthfully’s customer service.”
