I recently spoke with Dr. Kellie Coppi of Say Yes to the Ess-ay. With nearly two decades of experience in college application coaching, Dr. Coppi provides expert guidance tailored to each student's unique needs. Dr. Coppi's background in higher education ensures that she understands the nuances of crafting compelling admissions essays.

In our conversation, Dr. Coppi and I discussed:

  • Why high-stats students get rejected from colleges

  • Where Class of 2026 students need to be RIGHT NOW in their college admissions process

  • Why “good writers” often struggle with college admissions essays

  • The importance of a college’s culture when deciding where to apply

  • The importance of admissions essays for students with modest academic records
