简介

As an experienced college admissions consultant and Senior Advisor at ZHISHIQ, I have helped students get into top universities including MIT, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Penn, Cornell, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and many others. My articles on all aspects of the college selection and application process have aided millions of students with their academic journeys. As a professor of English, my passion is helping students with their writing, and my MIT engineering education gives me a strong foundation when assisting students interested in STEM fields. I'd love to help you craft an impressive application. 参考译文：作为一名经验丰富的大学招生顾问和芝士圈留学的高级顾问，我曾帮助学生进入MIT、Harvard、Columbia、Yale、Penn、Cornell、Stanford、UC Berkeley等顶尖大学。我写的“关于大学选择和申请过程各个方面”的文章帮助了数百万学生完成了学业。作为一名英语教授，我的热情是帮助学生写作，我在麻省理工学院的工程教育让我在帮助对STEM领域感兴趣的学生时打下了坚实的基础。我很乐意帮你起草一份令人印象深刻的申请。

自我介绍

I have been helping students get into their dream colleges for over 15 years. As the former College Admissions Expert for ThoughtCo, my articles have assisted millions of students around the world navigate the application process with information on a wide range of topics: graduate admissions, Common Application essays, extracurricular activities, the SAT and ACT, AP and IB classes, summer activities, demonstrated interest, choosing a college, and much more.

That said, I most enjoy working one-on-one with students. I'd love to get to know your strengths, quirks, interests, and passions so that I can help you present your story as compellingly as possible. Students I've collaborated with have gained admission to top colleges and universities including MIT, Stanford, and all the Ivy League schools. I also recognize that not everyone is a good match for the Ivies. I've toured over 150 colleges in the United States, and I've written profiles on well over 1,000 schools. I've earned degrees from MIT and Penn, taken classes at Harvard and Wellesley, and studied both engineering and English. Whatever your education and career goals, I'm ready to help you craft your application to get you there.

When it comes to essays, I'm an expert on big-picture issues of style and organization as well as the minutiae of grammar and punctuation. I've devoted much of my life to helping students with their writing. I have a PhD in English from the University of Pennsylvania, and I've been a professor of English for over 25 years. In that job, I regularly teach first-year college composition classes, I help upper-level college students get their work published, and I work with my students on their graduate school personal statements. For four years, I scored essays for the Advanced Placement Literature and Composition exam, and I've been doing college application essay consulting for well over a decade. Let's work together to make your application shine!

十多年来，我一直在帮助学生进入他们梦想的大学。作为ThoughtCo的大学招生工作人员，我的文章已经帮助了世界各地数百万的学生在申请过程中使用各种主题的信息:研究生入学、通用申请论文、课外活动、SAT和ACT考试、AP和IB课程、暑期活动、表现兴趣、选择大学等等。

也就是说，我最喜欢和学生一对一的工作。我很想了解你的优点、缺点、兴趣和激情，这样我就可以帮助你尽可能地把你的故事呈现得更有说服力。与我合作过的学生已经获得了顶尖大学的录取，包括麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学和所有的常春藤盟校。我也认识到，并不是每个人都适合常春藤盟校。我在美国参观了150多所大学，写了1000多所学校的简介。我获得了麻省理工学院和宾夕法尼亚大学的学位，在哈佛和韦尔斯利上过课，学过工程学和英语。无论你的教育和职业目标是什么，我都准备好帮助你精心设计你的申请，让你达到目标。

说到文章，我在风格和组织的宏观问题以及语法和标点符号的细节方面都是能手。我一生中大部分时间都在帮助学生写作。我在宾夕法尼亚大学获得了英语博士学位，做了20多年的英语教授。在这份工作中，我定期教大学一年级的作文课，我帮助高水平的大学生发表他们的作品，我还帮助我的学生写研究生院的个人陈述。四年来，我为大学先修课程文学与写作考试(Advanced Placement Literature and Composition)的作文评分，我做大学申请作文咨询已经有十多年了。让我们一起努力，让您的申请材料发光!

Introduction: Victorian Christmas Stories

Allen Grove

Valancourt Books November 2017

From the publisher: "Following the popularity of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol (1843), Victorian newspapers and magazines frequently featured ghost stories at Christmas time, and reading them by candlelight or the fireside became an annual tradition. This second volume of Victorian Christmas ghost stories contains fifteen tales, most of which have never been reprinted. They represent a mix of the diverse styles and themes common to Victorian ghost fiction and include works by once-popular authors like Grant Allen and Eliza Lynn Linton as well as contributions from anonymous or wholly forgotten writers. This volume also features a new introduction by Prof. Allen Grove."

Introduction: Horrid Mysteries by Carl Grosse

Allen Grove

Valancourt Books June 2016

From the publisher: "A bizarre work whose labyrinthine plot defies summary, Horrid Mysteries (1796) recounts the experiences of Don Carlos and his friend, the Marquis of G******, who become entangled in the web of a secret society bent on world domination. As the heroes flee from place to place across Europe, the agents of this dark confederacy, seemingly possessed of supernatural powers, are always at their heels-and death lies around every corner!

Unavailable for nearly 50 years, this unabashedly lurid Gothic novel written by an enigmatic German who styled himself the "Marquis of Grosse" and "Marquis of Pharnusia" returns to print at last as the seventh and final reissue in Valancourt's series of the rare Gothic novels mentioned in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. This edition includes a new introduction by Prof. Allen W. Grove."

Introduction and Editor for The Italian by Ann Radcliffe

Allen Grove

Valancourt Books July 2006

From the publisher: "In The Italian (1797), Ann Radcliffe pits a scheming noblewoman and a ruthless monk against young lovers trying to bridge seemingly insurmountable class differences. The scenes of sublime nature, mysterious groans, corrupt ecclesiastics, isolated fortifications, and Inquisitorial torture reveal eighteenth-century Gothic fiction at its finest. The Italian stands as the final and darkest work of England's most successful Gothic novelist, and it presents Radcliffe at the peak of her literary skills.

The Valancourt Books edition includes a carefully annotated and edited first edition text with a substantial introductory essay on the literary, historical, and biographical contexts of the novel. The appendix features a map of locations in The Italian, three complete Gothic stories by Radcliffe's contemporaries, and essays on terror fiction by Nathan Drake and John and Anna Aikin."

Introduction and editor for The Witch of Ravensworth by George Brewer

Allen Grove

Valancourt Books April 2006

From the publisher: "The cowardly but evil Baron de La Braunch wants desperately to rid himself of his wife and her son so he can marry the enchanting Lady Alwena. He enlists the aid of the hideous Hag of Ravensworth, a wicked witch who has sold her soul to demons in exchange for supernatural power. The witch leads the Baron deeper and deeper into depravity and murder, leading to a startling and unforgettable conclusion! First published in 1808 and long out of print, The Witch of Ravensworth is a masterful blend of Gothic horror, fairy tale, and bizarre dark humour. George Brewer's grotesque Witch is the clear precursor to later Gothic literary monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula. This edition features a new introduction and notes for modern readers, as well as the complete text of contemporary reviews."
