  • Can't make it live? The recording will be available within 1–2 business days.

Every Thursday in July, College Essay Guy is opening up Essay Office Hours, an hour where we read college essay drafts together and talk through what’s working and what could be even stronger. Want eyes on your own essay? You can bring your draft. Submit it and I may read it live and walk through it with you, first draft and all. No polished essay required. You’ll pick up specific moves you can borrow for your own writing and get a feel for what actually makes an admission reader lean in. Bring your questions too, and drop them in the chat as we go.

Tom Campbell

Former Admissions Officer and Community Manager · College Essay Guy

With 11+ years of admissions experience, Tom brings a rare insider perspective from both sides of the process, including roles as an admissions officer at the College of the Holy Cross and Assistant Dean at Pomona College.

He’s helped shape policies like test-optional admissions and supported students nationwide in gaining admission to highly selective schools.

Tom specializes in helping students turn “I have no idea what to write” into essays that feel authentic, compelling, and unmistakably them.

Known for his warm, student-centered approach, he makes a high-stakes process feel more human (with the occasional nod to Kacey Musgraves and breakfast burritos).
