Students will identify the characteristics of a strong personal essay and articulate the importance of the application essay in the college process; they will brainstorm potential topics, create a clear outline, write an initial draft, and revise their draft; they will collaborate with others to give and receive feedback on personal writing. 

I've worked with students 1:1 to develop and refine their college essays and personal statements for 15+ years. I have also taught workshops on writing the college application essay. My students have been accepted to Harvard, Yale, UPenn, Howard, Georgetown, and many other schools and scholarship programs.

세부 내용: Because of the intensive nature of this class, most students will need to spend an additional 30-60 minutes per day working independently on the different stages of the college essay process. Clear instructions and materials to guide independent work will be provided. Students will receive feedback on their work from peers and from the instructor. No assignments are required, but they are strongly recommended to get the most value out of the class.
