Rocking your College Admissions Essays

Essays are without a doubt the most time consuming and stress-inducing aspect of the college application process. Knowing this, we work with our students to start preparing them as early as possible. In this workshop, we will discuss the details of what topics to include in your admission essays as well as how to avoid many of the common problems and clichés associated with essays. We will also spend time preparing participants on how to transition from finishing their Common Application Personal Statement and UC Personal Insight Questions to college supplement essay and activity descriptions. 
 
Participants of this workshop will walk away with detailed outlines for their Common Application Personal Statement and for their four UC Personal Insight Questions. Participants will also have a detailed timeline to follow with exact dates for when they should be completing their essays to stay on track and finish strong essays well before the hard deadlines.
