When I started looking for an admissions consultant, my top priority was hiring someone who would return good comments on my writing quickly and reliably. I was starting out late, and I needed someone to help me grind out strong applications in a short period of time. After hearing about his reputation for diligence and responsiveness, I decided to hire Moshe—and his services were better than advertised. If you fit with his consulting style, I don’t think there’s a better admissions consultant than Sharper Statements out there.
The dueling-drafts system he uses makes the entire editing process simple, intuitive, and lightning-quick. At one point, we were churning out multiple new drafts every day, each building on a past iteration as the current version got better and better. Whenever I had questions, I could rely on him being available at pretty much any time, including the late hours I was usually writing at. In addition, even though I felt like I was working at a rapid pace, I never, ever felt like I was waiting on Moshe. Our overall speed was limited only by my own schedule and motivation to turn drafts around. It’s not an exaggeration to say that, at times, the attention Moshe gave my apps made me feel like I was his only client.
Together, Moshe and I strived towards perfection. We didn’t accept anything less. As a result, the process was very demanding. Moshe meticulously scrutinized my drafts and made sure to pick out every flaw no matter how small. Taken in tandem with the speed of his revisions and the sharpness with which he relayed his criticism, there were times when I felt frustrated and exhausted. But I’m glad I stuck through it. Thanks to the strength of my written submissions, my outcomes punched far above my stats. Despite my 3.1 GPA, I will be attending UVA Law on a generous scholarship.
Bottom line: if you’re looking for someone who will join you in obsessing over your application and combing through the minutiae to ensure that it’s perfect, Moshe is absolutely your guy. The keys to getting your money’s worth: make sure you can (1) handle tough criticism and (2) dedicate a significant amount of time to your applications.
