Sonia D., Stanford ‘29

“Will was a tremendous help to me in my college process – while he encouraged me and provided advice, I never felt like I was being pushed in a direction that was unnatural to me. Will understood what I wanted and supported me in getting there. He is a phenomenal writer and editor, but I think Will’s real power is in the brainstorming process – he would call with me for hours to discuss the directions of my essays and the narrative I was presenting of myself. Most importantly, Will was a great cheerleader to me throughout my college application journey. He celebrated each finished essay, each submitted application, and later, my acceptance into Stanford. Will’s intelligence, support, and breadth of knowledge of the college process was instrumental in my admission.”
