Hi! Not sure if he let you know but he is UGA bound! Thank you for everything and will be in touch for my rising sophomore before we know it. Happy summer!

Hi Andrea! Good morning - I had to share that you were one of the FIRST people Jake said he wanted to text when he heard from Boulder. That’s been his number one for years. I thought it was so sweet you were the first person he thought of. Thanks again!

Andrea Dresdner coached my daughter Audrey through the college application process, supporting her across the Common App and all secondary essays. What worked especially well was the collaborative dynamic they developed together. Audrey would come in with an idea, and Andrea would help shape the structure, sharpen the sentence flow, and refine word choice. When Audrey didn't have a clear starting point, Andrea's leading questions reliably got them there. Her insight into what admissions readers are looking for was genuinely valuable.

Practically speaking, Andrea was flexible and easy to work with — she communicated by text (the best way to reach a teen!), kept sessions as long as they needed to be and no longer, and met in person at her home, which Audrey felt made a real difference for the creative process.
Audrey credits these essays as critical to her outcomes, which included acceptances to Georgia Tech, University of Georgia, University of Florida, University of Virginia, University of South Carolina, and University of Tennessee. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Hey Andrea, I just wanted to follow up post-college apps and let you know how everything went, especially thanks to your help! I ended up getting accepted to Caltech, Cornell, Brown, Columbia (with a likely letter sent to the top 1% of accepted students), Emory, Vanderbilt (with a full-tuition scholarship through the Cornelius Vanderbilt scholars program), and Williams College. I’m committing to caltech, for which my essays were supported by you, and I really wanted to share once more how grateful I am for all of your support through the process. I’m super excited for the next phase of this journey!

Ms. Dresdner helped me write multiple supplemental college essays, as well as my main Common App essay, and helped make them the best they could be. Her guidance and the questions she asked throughout the process were incredibly helpful and made my essays feel polished and authentic.

The process we used also helped me stay on a very manageable timeline, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Along the way, she taught me valuable writing skills, including what to include, what to avoid, and how to strengthen my overall writing. Those are skills I know I will continue to use in future classes and writing assignments.
