undergraduate admissions
Applying to colleges can be stressful. As tuition costs rise and acceptance rates fall virtually every year, more and more high school students are discovering not even a flawless transcript and exceptional SAT/ACT score can guarantee acceptance to a top-choice school. In an ultra-competitive college admissions environment, it is important students make their applications stand out from the pack!
Behind every college acceptance letter is a strategically crafted application demonstrating a student’s essential interests, skill sets and value to a university. At Precision Academic Tutoring, we are here to help students understand what admissions officers are searching for in their applicant pool and convey those attributes in their applications.
Michael Hirsch, a Creative Writing major from Stanford University with a passion for helping students bring their stories to life, has spent the past 15 years guiding applicants through the college admissions process.

Testimonials
Michael helped my daughter with the college essay process, to find her topic and develop her voice. He went above and beyond, even finding a Chinese translator for a document she referenced. Not only was her essay the only one printed in her high school's literary magazine, she received a large merit award from her first choice college. Thank you, Michael!
