I chose The Red Pen after speaking to one of the co-founders, she sounded very helpful and well aware about how to guide me through this process. The one thing that stood out for me was the way The Red Pen helped me understand my capabilities and build my resume. The Red Pen helped me discover my field of interest, took me through each stage and helped me make it to my dream college!... Read More The team was just a phone call or email away – they always answered my questions and understood my concerns. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank The Red Pen for helping me turn my dream into reality.

I was in the process of starting my Master’s applications and was generally asking around for college advisors. During this time, I met with some team members of BCG, who spoke very highly of The Red Pen. Their recommendation combined with my initial conversation with the team helped me choose The Red Pen; I felt I was in good hands. What stood out most was the fact that they made me feel relevant.... Read More The whole process was tailored to my goals and I wasn’t “just another applicant.” As a result, I felt my application stood out and was unique to me. I was working in the strategy department of a B2B company and I was looking to transition into the sports world through a Masters in Sports Management with absolutely no experience of working in the Sports Industry. They helped me tailor my resume and SOP to reflect how the business skills I’ve developed so far would make me an asset in the sports world and this helped me get into the top 5 sports programs in the world!

The Red Pen really helped me push the bar for my essays. They were critical in their feedback and were very clear in articulating the implications of certain SOP topics and how they would impact my overall application. The team helped me troubleshoot all my problems within a matter of hours. I could have never imagined getting into all the colleges I applied and I am super excited to attend Columbia University.
