Help them put their best foot forward.

A strong Common App takes careful thought, planning, and editing. In other words, it takes work.
As a parent, it can be hard to help your Senior put in the work that will help them shine.

That's where we come in.  

Get Started in 3 Steps

Free Parent Consult


In a free, 15-minute call, we'll learn about your student's application plans and
find out where they need support.

Student Planning Session


We'll meet your student to brainstorm and plan for the written components of their Common App.

The Work Begins


After your student writes their Personal Statement and other written answers, we'll provide feedback and edits.

Who we help

Not every Senior needs help with college essays. 


Some have a natural gift for planning and executing essays that reflect who they are.


Other students have access to exceptional guidance counsellors, who can assist with essay planning and editing. A lucky few can afford the help of a full-service college consultant or counselor. 

At On Your Mark, we help high school Seniors who:

  • Know where they plan to apply to college / university
  • Know which programs interest them
  • Want professional essay support, without paying steep fees
  • Are willing to put in the work (think: up to 3 drafts) to make their essays shine

What clients are saying

Sue B. - Mom

Lynn took the time to get to know our son, so his personality came through in his college essays. Her process was well thought out but also flexible, working with our busy schedules. She went above and beyond in so many ways. It was well worth the investment having him work with someone who wasn't a parent to get the best out of him. I highly recommend Lynn!

Amy S. - Student

Lynn took the time to understand what I wanted to say in my essays. Her edits never felt intrusive or mechanical — they elevated my ideas while staying true to who I am. When it came to meeting word counts, her ability to help me tighten content without losing meaning was next-level. Lynn is a true expert, and I felt more confident submitting my applications with her help.

Kelly V. - Mom

My son has always had pretty good grades, but for his college applications, I didn't want to leave anything to chance. Nor did I want to chase after him for every deadline. When Michael was willing to work with Lynn, it was such a relief. They built a schedule and stuck to it. I was happy the Common App was off my plate. He was happy I wasn't nagging him for deadlines. Win, win!
