Before You Hit Submit! Get a Live Second Opinion From a College Admissions Expert
Limited appointments available now through October 23rd
You’ve revised the essays. Double checked every field. Read your application so many times the words have stopped making sense.
Before you send it off to your dream college, get a fresh, expert perspective on whether your application tells the story you want it to tell.
With Signet’s Before You Hit Submit package, a Senior Admissions Consultant will review your application and one college’s supplemental essays and then meet with you for a live 45 minute feedback and strategy session.
Application Review & Strategy Session: Only $599

When you’ve been working on your application for months, it’s hard to step back and see it clearly. You know what you want it to communicate, but will an admissions officer read it that way?
A fresh perspective can help you identify:
- Parts of your story that may not be coming through clearly
- Opportunities to add specificity or strengthen your message
- Places where your application may feel repetitive or disconnected
- Questions or concerns worth addressing before submission
- Final strategic adjustments that could make your application more cohesive
What’s included?
- Review of your application (including personal essay and extracurricular list)
- Review of supplemental essay responses to one college
- 45 minute live feedback and strategy session with an experienced admissions consultant
How does it work?
- Have a quick conversation with our team. Tell us where you are at in the application process, to which schools you’re applying, what deadlines you hope to meet, and your biggest questions or concerns.
- Send us your materials. You’ll submit your application and supplemental materials in advance of your review session. We’ll help you with this!
- Meet with your consultant. They’ll come prepared with feedback, strategic observations, and answers to your questions
- Make your final revisions. Apply any feedback to make thoughtful adjustments so you can hit submit with clarity and confidence
Is this review right for you?
This is designed for students who:
- Have a complete or nearly complete application form and personal essay
- Have drafts of their supplemental essays for at least one college
- Want a fresh perspective before submitting
- Are looking for strategic feedback rather than extensive rewriting
- Can make their own revisions after the live session
If you’re still developing your application or need ongoing support, more comprehensive admissions services may be a better fit. Our team can help you determine the right next step.
