A workshop for rising seniors focusing on the Common Application Essay. Over six sessions students will discover their unique voice and what makes a great college essay and topic.
We will review the Common Application essay prompts and brainstorm individually and collectively. Students will identify a topic, draft, review, and revise at least one personal essay. In addition to the personal essay, we will discuss the other types of essays/supplements that may be required and provide time and support to complete a supplemental essay draft. Students will also complete an activity sheet along with a Common Application info worksheet preparing for the August 1st opening of the 2019/2020 Common Application.
