About Me

Hello! My name is Christina Chady, your Admissions Writing Guide.

I have worked in undergraduate admissions for over a decade. I started my career as an admissions officer for WashU (a Top 20 School), where I learned the intricate operations of a competitive admissions office. I later worked for multiple international admissions consulting groups in addition to private counseling. I’ve helped students gain admissions to universities such as Harvard, UPenn, Brown, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, UChicago, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UMichigan, to name a few. In working 1:1 with students, I learned their most common questions and needs, and I have crafted my services in order to streamline the process.

I graduated from WashU with Honors, earning double majors in Anthropology and International & Area Studies with a minor in Photography. I also hold an MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics from Naropa University, where I was a Graduate Writing Fellow. I have always admired how people share their stories through text and image, which informs my work.

I am now excited to share with you the synthesis all that I know to help you with the writing sections of your college application. Let’s do this together!
