Authoring Your Story: Writing the Common App Personal Statement the iSTORIva™ Way
THE DOUBLE DIP™
As students work with our iSTORIva™ framework throughout high school, they aren’t just creating application ready material; they are building their reflective writing voice and revision stamina that will serve them well beyond college in the constantly shifting landscape of AI.
Three Ways to Work with Us
Whether you’re looking for building a reflective writing habit, or support for college applications, we have an option that fits.
COLLEGE COUNSELING
Planning and strategy, grades 9–12.
For families seeking a transformative college admissions strategy their child owns. Complete confidence on every aspect of high school: course selection, activity advising, major-specific planning, testing strategy, summer planning, college list, campus visit guidance, plus our Honors and Activities List Builder dashboard.
COLLEGE COUNSELING + iSTORIva™ WRITING
Full support, 9th grade through Common App submission and beyond.
For families seeking all-inclusive services. Everything in College Counseling, plus brainstorming, revising, and submission-ready final drafts of the personal statement and all school-specific essays and supplemental materials. Includes iSTORIva™ Junior Year Workshop and exclusive access to our signature writing process.
iSTORIva™ INQUIRY AND WRITING WORKSHOPS
Grades 10-11.
10th graders learn to align their strengths and interests with their colleges of choice, inquiring into fit and beginning to determine where they belong. In our five-session Junior Year Workshop, 11th graders identify their reflective writing voices, examining their high school experiences with a reflective lens, and collecting powerful personal statement story seeds from their lived experiences. Open cohorts or a private group.
