Admissions Writing Coach / Essay Editor (Remote, Part-Time) The Admissions Writing Coach is the first expert to work with each student's application materials, helping them turn ordinary drafts into compelling, admissions-committee-ready essays. This role goes well beyond proofreading: coaches strengthen prompt alignment, content, structure, and language while keeping every essay unmistakably the student's own. Coaches work closely with Jack Westin's admissions experts, who hold final say and conduct the last round of review before each submission returns to the student. Responsibilities Coach students through personal statements, AMCAS/AACOMAS/TMDSAS activities, most meaningful experiences, secondary essays, MD/PhD essays, letters of intent, and other admissions materials Provide detailed, substantive feedback on prompt alignment, content, structure, and language, the way a thoughtful admissions committee member would Model strong writing without writing for the student: draft illustrative examples tailored to the student's real background, then guide them to rewrite in their own words Research relevant details (programs, diagnoses, clinical settings) so guidance and examples are specific and grounded Leave a small number of focused margin notes that explain your reasoning and point the student toward their next step Protect the student's authentic voice at every stage of the process Lead brainstorming and strategy sessions with students, while the assigned admissions expert remains their primary point of contact Flag anything needing expert judgment with clear, actionable notes, and document your reasoning so guidance stays consistent across the team Contribute to educational resources, training materials, and admissions content, and participate in coach training and quality reviews Meet established turnaround times and quality benchmarks
