Essay Workshops
Two 2-hour group sessions followed by an individual one hour final session. At the conclusion the students will:
Have a completed main essay that can be submitted for the Common Application or Coalition Application colleges.
The student will understand why the essay needs to be a story about them. They will understand that the essay is not about a static topic, but rather, that they are writing about an experience and what they learned / gained from it.
During the sessions, we will discuss understanding the concepts of “knowing your audience”, that the "application essay is a story about you,” and that every writer has a unique writing voice.
Topics of a personal or sensitive nature are only discussed between the student and consultant.
For some students, this may mean working on their essay outside of the group sessions.
Cost is $300. Spaces are limited.
