Hello. My name is Dave Wtorkowski (tor-COW-ski). I'm a Dartmouth College graduate and a full-time college admissions coach. For over 10 years, I've been providing strategic insight and advice on how to navigate the difficult college application process to help ambitious, high-achieving students get into the Ivy League and other top-tier universities. I help students build their candidacy while they're still in high school, prep for the SAT, and craft the strongest possible college applications with a compelling personal narrative and one-of-a-kind essays. Before returning to academia, I was a professional writer, editor and script doctor in Hollywood, and a creative Vice President at Disney.

**Update July 2024**
Starting fall of 2024, UChicago introduced a new, first-of-its-kind admissions option called SSEN (Summer Student Early Notification). If you participated in one of UChicago's Pre-College Summer Programs during high school (either in-person or online), you are eligible to apply early decision to UChicago before anyone else -- anytime between Sept. 1 and Oct. 15 -- and get a decision within just three weeks! It's a binding commitment, and it likely confers the same admissions advantage of applying Early Decision. But the best part of SSEN is that if you apply early enough, and get deferred or rejected, you still have time to apply ED to another school by the November 1 deadline.
