Thinking Feet | Strategic College Essay Prep
STARTING FEBRUARY • GRADES 9+

Don’t Wait Until Senior Year to Find Out What’s Missing.

A strategic writing program by Thinking Feet that uses actual Ivy League prompts to identify resume gaps now—while you still have time to fix them.

The Senior Year Panic

"I have to write about a leadership challenge, but I've never led a club."

The Strategic Approach

"I realized in 10th grade I needed leadership experience, so I started a project then. Now, writing the essay is easy."

Writing is Strategy, Not Just Grammar.

Most students wait until the summer before 12th grade to look at the Common App. By then, it's too late to change their high school journey.

Our February program flips the script. By attempting high-level essays now, students get a reality check on their resume, giving them a clear roadmap for the rest of high school.

Our Unique Methodology

We combine advanced writing instruction with strategic resume planning.

Gap Analysis

We use actual supplemental prompts from top-tier schools. When students struggle to answer, it highlights exactly what is missing from their current profile, allowing them to fix it early.

Simulation Learning

Don't have the experience yet? No problem. We provide Student Profiles—detailed fictional backgrounds. Students practice writing persuasive narratives as these characters, mastering the skill without the pressure.

Expert Feedback

This isn't just about commas. Students receive personalized, 1-on-1 critiques on narrative structure, tone, and persuasion techniques from expert instructors.
