Purchase season pass
The details, plainly
- One student per pass
- The pass attaches to one student’s account. A second child needs a second pass: their work, their essays, their list.
- Parents can buy it
- A parent can buy for their student, or a student can buy it themselves. Either way the access lands on the student’s account.
- Nothing auto-renews
- It’s a one-time payment covering 12 months — long enough to cover a full application season. No card on file, no surprise charge next year.
- When it ends, you keep your work
- Your essays, drafts, activities list and notes stay yours to read and export. The workshop stops writing new feedback; it never takes anything away.
- Your data stays yours
- Transcripts are encrypted at rest, we don’t sell anything to anyone, and you can delete the account whenever you like. See the privacy policy.
- Not sure yet?
- Do the whole free side first. Build the list, read the fits, load your activities — then decide.
- Refunds
- Changed your mind? Email hello@lambertsgrove.com within 7 days and we’ll refund you in full, as long as Mr. Lambert hasn’t reviewed an essay yet. Once he’s given feedback on your writing, that work is done and the pass is non-refundable. Either way your drafts are yours: Export essays in the Application Workshop gives you a copy to keep. And if something has gone wrong, tell us anyway — we’d rather fix it than keep money from a family we’ve let down.
- What it compares to
- An independent counselor runs $200–300 an hour, and a full package averages around $6,500. The season pass is about one hour, for the whole season.
- Limits on the free side
- Free accounts include 18 fit reads, roughly six in each of the stretch, target and likely tiers, and 10 questions. Re-reading something you’ve already opened never counts again, and everything you’ve entered stays yours either way.
