Description

Class Experience

College application essays are unlike your typical high school essays. Most students have not had much experience writing about themselves in a way that showcases their best qualities along with their writing ability. In my three years of working in admissions at an Ivy League university, I have read about two thousand college essays and supplemental statements that run the gamut from unremarkable to extraordinary. How do you write an essay that stands out?

This class for individual coaching...

This class is taught in English.

I have over a decade of experience working in a variety of roles in higher education. Most relevant is the three years I spent working in admissions at an Ivy League university. I have also volunteered as an alumni admissions interviewer for my alma mater, Brown University. Other roles include academic advising, academic coaching, and teaching.

Homework will be assigned between meetings, which will include essay writing as well as potential activities for further self-reflection. l will set progress goals with input from the student.

The learner will provide a draft of the college essay (if applicable) and/or college essay prompts to work on.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Google Docs

2 hours per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
