Why YourDean.com

College students have deans they can rely on for advice, guidance, mentoring and help in a jam. You need a dean before you get to college to help you.

Yourdean.com, run by a former university dean and professor, makes certain that your college application essays will get you into the school[s] of your choice. My job is to help you write and edit an essay that will highlight your academic strengths and your achievements and make it clear to an admissions committee that you are one of the students they want for next year’s entering class.


Yourdean.com is best suited for students who have already written first drafts and are ready to build, refine and strengthen their writing. If you are stuck, I will help you to get unstuck. If your opening is flat or your conclusion is unfocused I know what to do. If your essay needs fine-tuning I can do that too.

The testimonials from my clients confirm that I provide the understanding, support and encouragement you need to make your applications competitive

My editing is respectful and responsive. I do not ghost write. The essay is yours; it is about you, it must reflect you and academic integrity demands that you are its author.

In Editing, I will

  • Encourage you to expand ideas or add information that will show you to better advantage
  • Suggest changes in wording, grammar or organization
  • Advise you to remove distracting or unnecessary elements
  • Help you to rethink and reimagine your entire essay
