Marcella can help

Marcella graduated from the University of Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts in English and from Stanford University with a Masters of Arts in Communications.

She was an Alumna Interviewer and Admissions Reader for the University of Chicago, where she used the university's secret alphanumeric ranking system to help accept 8% of applicants.

She was an Admissions Reader for UC Berkeley's Management, Entrepreneurship, & Technology Program, which had a 2% acceptance rate. 

She works with a former Stanford Admissions Reader to give her students an extra edge.

I'm so glad that I chose to work with Marcella. I could never have imagined how much her feedback would help me in improving my application. As a result of working with Marcella, I was able to identify and improve weaknesses in areas of my application that I thought were strong, and I was able to make my application more authentic and compelling. Working with Marcella has been one of the best investments I've ever made.

Having heard about the unpredictable nature of the previous admission cycle, I was worried about how I could make myself stand out as an applicant and maximize my chances of attending a top university. My favorite part about working with Marcella was her ability to help me craft cohesive narratives out of a jumble of ideas. Marcella's guidance allowed me to present a polished and authentic application to every school, and her support was instrumental in my admissions success.

Before working with Marcella, the number of essays and deadlines were daunting, and I was unsure how to convey my interests and experiences in a cohesive manner. Marcella really helped me convey my experiences in an authentic and genuine way—and this reflected in essays I was proud of.
