Before working with Dewey Smart, Kim felt uncertain about the college application process. She struggled to understand the sequence of steps, the deadlines for different schools, and how to present herself effectively to admissions committees. The timeline of applications — balancing essays, supplements, and requirements across multiple schools — felt overwhelming. Without clear guidance, it was difficult to know how to stay on track while still producing high-quality applications.
Dewey Smart gave Kim the clarity and direction she was looking for. Her counselor created a strict but manageable timeline that helped her balance the competing demands of multiple applications. With clear milestones and accountability, Kim stayed organized throughout the process, reducing stress and ensuring nothing was left to the last minute.
Essay support played a key role in her success. Kim received detailed feedback on her writing, helping her refine her personal statement and supplemental essays into polished, authentic pieces. This process allowed her to highlight her creativity, academic focus, and passion for film studies. By combining structured planning with tailored essay guidance, Kim built a strong, cohesive application portfolio.
Kim’s hard work and strategic approach paid off. She earned multiple acceptances to universities known for strong film and media programs, giving her several excellent options to pursue her passion.
