The personal statement (Essay) is an increasingly critical component of college applications, yet many students struggle to produce an essay that enables their unique strengths to shine.
Join us for a 4-part workshop that will equip incoming 12th graders with the strategies they need to craft a perfect essay
Outcome
At the completion of the boot camp, the student will have created their first drafts of two Essays for College Applications - one for the Common Application and the other for UC Personal while receiving individual feedback from the coach.
Workshop topics will include:
- What college admissions reps are really looking for
- Differences between UC and Common Application essays
- How to brainstorm and select topics
- Learn how to figure out your unique story
- Common pitfalls to avoid
Requirements - Students must bring their own laptops. They should also be willing to complete the homework assignments.
