College Essay Workshop (Webinar + One-on-One)

In this two-part workshop for the Class of 2025 you’ll learn how to write an effective personal statement and great supplemental essays for each college. First students participate in a webinar on:

  • how essays are used in the application process
  • guidance on choosing topics
  • writing tips for personal statements and school-specific essays
  • Dos and Don’ts
  • brainstorming exercises for the personal statement, and
  • suggested timeline from topic selection through final edits.

 

A one-on-one follow-up session offers personalized help on the aspect the student needs most: finalizing topics, brainstorming for school-specific questions, crafting a “why” or “fit” essay, feedback on rough drafts, or final proofread. (Additional follow-up sessions can be booked separately.)

$175 per student.

Date: August 7
