Zachary Shore has helped to ensure my success in being admitted to some of the top journalism programs in the country. After taking plenty of time to listen to my story, he helped me to write a passionate, thought-provoking, emotional essay, and encouraged me in making revisions for the perfect application. I submitted this to various graduate schools. Ultimately, I decided to attend Stanford University’s data journalism program, which is one of the best in the nation. The admissions director reached out to personally compliment the writing in my application. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Shore.

I knew pretty early on in college that I wanted to be a physical therapist, and I also knew that writing the admission essays would be hard. There were so many ideas I wanted to explain. It was frustrating that I couldn’t figure out how to fit them into such short essays. I was so lucky I met Zach. He showed me how to express my passion for therapy exactly the way I needed to. It was a ton of work, but in the end I felt so happy with the essays that it was totally worth it. I got into a great program, and now I have a dream job at UCLA in a hospital helping cancer patients and others to recover quickly. I can’t thank him enough. He is amazing.

What I found super helpful and unique about Zach is that he is very intuitive about your voice and messaging. Once he gets to know a bit about you, he is very good at placing himself in your shoes as he helps you come up with the right way to say the right stuff. Ultimately, I got into three of my dream schools - Columbia University, Johns Hopkins, and Yale - and graduated from Columbia with my Master's in Healthcare Administration. I think it's safe to say that his help leads to success.

Zach is the first person I turn to for advice on all professional and graduate school questions. He has helped me talk through salary negotiations, cover letters, and resumes.

I applied to seven schools and Zach helped me tailor each application to the specific program I was applying to. Thanks to Zach's writing help, I was accepted to all seven, and got a full scholarship to the number one ranked policy school in the U.S., where I am now studying.

I knew what I wanted to say-- I just didn't know how to say it. That's when Zachary Shore stepped in. In his witty, calming manner, Professor Shore somehow drew out of me the perfect material for those essays. Writing those essays took time and effort, but in the end I got into my first choice, UC Berkeley. I graduated a few years ago and now have a job I genuinely love.

I had the most fun when Zach conducted mock medical school interviews. He would simulate the voice and demeanor of various committee members, ask a wide range of questions, and follow-up tactfully -- all while acting out the part! We would then discuss about my performance, with Zach giving me valuable suggestions on how to both frame insightful responses and convey all of my points within the time limit.

I had been in a doctoral program for nine years and was struggling to write my dissertation. Thanks to his efforts, I earned my PhD with a manuscript that was really well received and is now widely cited in my field. Recently he helped me prepare for an academic job interview. It’s a dream job, and I landed it. His guidance is amazing.

I applied to a dual masters program in Behavioral Health and Public Health. He reviewed my essay responses and gave valuable tips on the interview process, helping me stand out amongst a sea of other applicants. The professor interviewing me was so impressed by the finished result of my application that she referred to me as a “gifted writer.”

Being a non-native English learner, no matter how little I have to write, I am always nervous at the daunting task. I am lucky to have found Zach, and with his help, not only could I remarkably improve my writing but also dealt with such anxiety. Zach is the major reason I was able to make it into and through grad school.
