Meet Abhilasha Khaitan, Your Essay Coach and Editor

After earning my MBA from IIM Ahmedabad in 1998, I began my career as a management consultant before my love for storytelling led me to journalism. I’ve held leadership roles at top publications including Forbes India, India Today, and The Times of India. In 2018, I spearheaded editorial initiatives at Thrive Global in India and later worked with edtech platform Emeritus, where I developed engaging educational content that bridged learning and storytelling. I also serve on the advisory board for Involve, a social impact organization focused on peer learning. These experiences now shape my work as a college essay consultant.

 

 

 

 

Services

I offer two types of services—application-based packages and hourly coaching. Students can choose what fits their needs best.

APPLICATION-BASED

Complete applications
Includes all essays for applications through the Common App portal, University of California, MIT, Georgetown, and other similar platforms. This package will be customized on the basis of requirements. For example, Common App main essay + supplementals for one college make for one application just as UCs essays are one application. Students can choose a minimum of three such applications.

 

Common App main essay + supplements for at least one college
This includes colleges on the Common App portal. This package will include the main Common App essay and complete supplemental essays for at least one university. This works well for ED applications.

Hour-BASED

For flexible support, I offer hour-based consults, starting with a minimum of 5 hours. Students can add more as needed. This option is suitable for applicants who need support in identifying narratives, final edits of a ready draft, or just to break a writer’s block.

 

Note:
I specialize in essay coaching and do not offer general admissions counselling.
