Real College Essays: Berkeley PhDs Specializing in UC PIQs

Is your high school senior applying to the UCs this year? Real College Essays can help.

The application process is daunting for many students. Writing is challenging, but the stakes only get higher when you have to come up with a narrative about yourself. Drawing on our background as Berkeley PhDs, we help students overcome their fears and write effective, impactful PIQs.

OUR APPROACH

We adopt a streamlined approach by:
-Connecting with our students to draw out the best application narrative.
-Helping our students overcome their fear of writing.
-Breaking the writing into achievable tasks.

Our students find that after only a session or two, they have already made great progress on their UC PIQs.
