College Application Essay Editing

About

About Me

I'm Kimberly Maynard, a first-year architecture student at the University of Southern California. I graduated high school at Canyon Crest Academy in San Diego in 2022. I am well acquainted with the college application process, especially what it can look like for students in the Carmel Valley area. I was accepted or waitlisted to 10 of the 11 schools I applied to, with acceptances including UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, Cal Poly SLO, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

​

I am adept at editing essays to help showcase a student's full potential. I am also particularly knowledgeable in the application process for architecture and engineering.

Testimonials

"Kimmi helped transform my essays into coherent stories that conveyed my ideas and interests. Her advice enabled me to focus on the important aspects of the story I wanted to tell and write them with more flair. She also provided helpful suggestions for connections I could add to give the college admissions officers a complete view of my life and story."
