AW: Student attending Princeton University (early action acceptance)

“Words cannot describe how much I want to thank you for your help during senior fall. You’ve turned my dream into reality… Thanks for believing in me when I stopped having faith in myself…”

DKWatson Fellow, University of Iowa MA – writing program student, doctoral program applicant.

“I first worked with Carolyn when I was a student at Wesleyan University, and applying for a Luce Fellowship. Carolyn’s feedback on the drafts of my application materials helped me to make my writing more direct and my ideas more clear. I was a finalist for the Luce, and received a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, for which Carolyn helped me think through every step of the interview process. During my fellowship year, she was generous, perceptive and reassuring as I negotiated the difficulties of living abroad. Three years later, as I applied to Ph.D. programs, her feedback on my personal statement was incisive and helped me to express my own voice in my writing more clearly than I could do on my own. Throughout my work with Carolyn, she has been accessible, encouraging, and a fabulous editor. It’s been a tremendous gift to be able to work with her.”
