Our Process
What We Do
Unleash the Inner U, based in New York City, New York, USA, has a unique program for Writing College Admisssions Essays. Our counselors are grounded in psychology and have a process to help our students get to their core and help them accept ourselves. With authentic relevant information, we help mentor the students to craft genuine, relevant essays for the colleges.
Our Process
How do we start?​
​
Every year, college essay prompts are usually released in July/August for the upcoming application year. Students are finalized for the extended program, 'My Authentic Real Self', between January - June. We start working together in May/June until the college application deadlines.
​
For the program, 'My Real Expression', we begin once the college supplemental prompts are released in July/August.
​
For 'Crafting Me', we begin with students in September/October.
Prior to this time, students are primarily occupied with taking tests for colleges, school, grades, and extracurriculars. Starting summer vacation, they have the time to focus on discovering themselves, finalizing their college lists, and writing essays, and writing more essays...
