Testimonials
“I’ve known Jason personally for some time now. I had a rather low GPA and SAT score so I didn’t think I’d have any chance of getting accepted.”
-Mitchell Chen, UC Santa Barbara
“Jason was a great help to me during the appeal process. He was able to guide me in crafting a letter that effectively stated my circumstances, which I could not have done without his help. I’m so grateful to have been able to get into UCSB as a result!”
-Anonymous, UC Santa Barbara Appeal
“Jason is the best college counselor I have worked with —having gone through admission process three times, I worked with many conuselors and advisors. Jason stood above the rest. He helped me shape my writing and strategy to get the results I wanted. Jason is the reason I am at my dream school.”
-Anonymous, UCLA

-Tunan Zheng, UC San Diego
“I applied as a comp sci major, but it was sort of ridiculous that a major part of my admissions would be my college essay. I had ambition and passion, but I just couldn’t put it in words properly. That’s why I’m grateful for your help!”
-Austin Sophonsri, UC Berkeley

College Essays & Personal Statements
- We brainstorm together through either phone or zoom call.
- We use the ideas from brainstorming to create a “mock essay”. Mock essays are full essays we created that we believe have the highest chance of getting you accepted.
- You change the essay enough such that it includes your own voice and is different from the original mock essay.
- We provide suggestions and recommended revisions to accommodate for any mistakes.
- Volley the process back and forth until the essay qualifies as uniquely yours, does not plagiarize, has your own voice, and all parties are satisfied with the result (or until the end of the deadline.)
GPA Help
Struggling with one particular class? Don’t know how to handle academic stress? Unsure of the reason why you can’t bump that GPA from a 3.5 to a 3.6 or a 3.9 to a 4.0?
We’ve worked with many students over the years and, interestingly enough, we found the reason for lower academic performance was seldom ever related to lack of knowledge at all. In fact, most students had no problem retaining information. Instead, their main issues typically involved incorporating proper study habits, brushing up their work schedule, setting their family and house life in working order, and others.
Our expertise can ensure that you’ll increase your GPA drastically. In addition, our strategies ensure you’ll maintain your GPA for a long time rather than just increasing your grades temporarily before burnout. Strong academic performance is also about academic sustainability, not just working super hard!
Extracurricular Consulting
It’s not easy to know how many extracurriculars one needs.
Strangely, many clients come to us with too many extracurriculars. Often, we find that they need to slim down their list of extracurriculars and zero in on a few more important ones so as to maximize their acceptance rate. Of course, the real question is this: which ones do I let go of? Then, you may ask this: which ones do I take on?
If you’re like most people, you may also be wondering how much time and dedication needs to go into your extracurriculars. You may not know how many awards you need or how many projects you must develop. How many startups do you need to intern at? How many community service hours do you need? Do you need to get research experience from professors already working at universities? Is this normal?
At PenningPapers, we help students cater their academic profile and background to the right set of extracurriculars. Not only that, we also calculate which ones are going to be the best return of investment. So, you can maximize your acceptance rate without spending time on things that would otherwise be a waste of effort.
College Interviews
Most students don’t have the proper experience or knowledge to know how to prepare for college interviews and the many questions that they provide. Even school college and career centers usually lack the right resources for students to prepare for their interviews. This is because college interviews don’t occur for everyone.
If you’re looking for preparation for the college interview process, you can get a customized set of hours schedule with us here at PenningPapers. Our expertise with the interview process will help you leave a glowing impression and give you the much-needed boost in acceptance rate that every competitive student needs.
College List Help
At PenningPapers, we take careful consideration into what you want and need for your future. Factors such as social environment, cultural fit, location, financing, career prospects, and academic atmosphere play a crucial role in the way we build a college list for you.
Thus, we ensure the list is something that actually aligns with what you want instead of just fishing for prestige that would benefit our marketing.
Quality Essays Done Fast
The average college applicant sends their essays at the last minute. This almost always guarantees poor essays.
PenningPapers works with you or your child through comprehensive consulting to ensure you send essays of the highest quality, even if it’s close to the deadline.
Our unique essay strategies help students stand out, even if they’re applying at the last minute.
Increase Your Acceptance Rate Dramatically
Many students with 4.0 GPAs get rejected from all the University of California schools.
PenningPapers has helped students with GPAs of 3.3-3.5 get accepted to schools like UCSD, UCI, UCLA, and UCB. We’ve also helped students get accepted into schools such as Cornell and Dartmouth.
Back up your application with years of experience. Get accepted into the colleges you deserve. Don’t waste your years of academic work.
