Secondly, Masha is able to compose texts correctly and in a structured way - both for exams and motivational essays. I owe Masha for 82% on GRE (Verbal, Analytical Writing) and 29/30 points on TOEFL (Writing). As well as my successful motivational essays, which, I think, "dragged" me to several leading Universities (in addition to Stanford, I was accepted to Columbia University, Duke University, and New York University). Masha knows how to masterfully arrange all your achievements in a beautiful, short and clear story that will make the admissions Committee remember you and understand that it needs you.
Third, Masha helps to build admission tactics: understand how to teach yourself in an essay and resume, how to work with people who will write you reviews, how to fit all this in the remaining time (which, it seems, is always not enough).
Finally, and for me this was probably the most important thing – Masha is always full of energy, optimistic, purposeful and believes that you can achieve any goal. I did not think that I would enter universities from the top twenty, let alone the top five at the beginning of our meetings. I remember how with uncertainty and lowering my voice I asked Masha if I had any chances to get into the "top". Doubts arose during the process, but each time after meetings with Masha, I came out with a new charge of energy, in full readiness for new sessions of preparation for GRE, for writing essays and for communicating with admissions committees.
