POSTPONED - Crafting Your College Essay In-Person

Register Here!

Your college essay doesn't need to be dramatic, extraordinary, or filled with impressive accomplishments. It needs to help an admissions reader understand the person behind the application.

In this engaging workshop, students and parents will learn how to move beyond the dreaded blank page and uncover the stories, experiences, and qualities that can make an essay memorable.

We'll explore:

  • What admissions readers are actually looking for in a personal essay
  • How to find meaningful essay ideas hiding in everyday experiences
  • Common essay mistakes that can make a strong student sound like everyone else
  • How to write with authenticity without oversharing
  • When students should start—and how starting early can make senior year much less stressful

You'll leave with practical strategies to begin brainstorming and a much clearer sense of what makes an effective college essay.
