Last day: $37 for the A&M essay guide
|
Hi, Reader! Today is the last day to get my Texas A&M supplemental essay guide at the early bird price. This year, A&M added four new required essay prompts to their application — more than any previous cycle. Students applying for Fall 2027 have more to write, more to figure out, and less precedent to go on. That’s exactly why I built this guide. I’ve spent five summers running essay workshops on the A&M campus and 8+ years coaching students on their A&M applications. I can tell you from experience that students focus so much on the personal statement that they don’t give the supplementals the time and attention they deserve. And the supplementals matter — even for auto-admits. At midnight tonight, the price goes from $37 to $67 — and the bonus goes away. If you’re applying to A&M for Fall 2027, here’s what you’ll get: ✅ Step-by-step guidance for every supplemental and (when released) scholarship prompt ✅ Embedded videos — I walk through each prompt ✅ Brainstorming exercises + real student essay examples with coaching notes ✅ Bonus: “Nail Your Opening Line” mini-guide (gone tonight)
This is your last chance to get the guide at $37. Tomorrow it goes up to $67. (Still worth it — but today it’s a better deal.) Talk soon, Julia P.S. Applications open in a month. You’ll never have more time to work on your essays than you do right now. Don’t wait. Interested in Coaching?

Hi, Reader! Every year at the end of July, the Common App shuts down for a few days to refresh itself. Old data clears, new prompts load, and students who've spent June and July building drafts get a small pause before the floodgates (and applications) officially open. This year, the shutdown starts July 28 at 5 p.m. ET and reopens Aug. 1. (Although if history is any predictor, it often reopens several hours ahead of schedule.) If you or your student has been typing away in the platform, make...
Hi, Reader! I spent last week at Texas A&M running a two-day essay workshop for 36 students. They walked in stressed. And I'm not going to lie: I was a little stressed, too. That's a big group. And there's just one of me. I needn't have worried. They locked in, caffeinated up, and walked out with full drafts. That's the exact energy I want for you this month. Not "I have to have this perfect by August." Just: I'm sitting down, and I'm getting started. My Talk With Admissions Before I arrived...
Hi, Reader! Just a heads up — early bird pricing on the A&M essay guide ends Sunday, July 5. In case you missed it, Texas A&M added four new required supplemental essay prompts to their application this year. That’s on top of the existing personal statement and the existing required supplemental essay — and it means students applying for Fall 2027 admission have more to write than any class before them. But don’t panic. My new Cracking the Texas A&M Supplemental Essays is a self-paced written...
