My name is Tanuj Iyengar and I am a senior at Brooklyn Tech High School in New York City. By working with Ruth, I was accepted into Cornell University via the Early Decision application round. Ruth was far more than just an editor. She went above and beyond to inspire my brainstorming process, from providing examples of her own responses to the prompts to sending me podcast clips of people talking about the topics I was writing about. She helped me learn more about myself as a person, which led to more substantive and compelling essays. Regarding her work directly with my essays, her feedback was very detailed and supported with multiple suggestions to fix the problems I had encountered. Overall, it was truly a joy to work with such a supportive essay coach who played a significant role in my improvement as a writer and my admission to Cornell.
