Welcome to our College Essay Boot Camp
As we know, smart students today benefit from professional support in creating compelling college admissions essays. They know this helps get them accepted, especially when targeting selective or highly selective schools.
I mean, as a parent do you really want them to go it alone with so much on the line?
The biggest myth about college essays is that if a student gets good grades in English class, they are a good enough writer to deal with their essays with zero coaching.
WRONG.
High school English classes are designed to teach literature and grammar, but not marketing. And let’s face it, these essays need to help teens market themselves to the colleges and universities they dream of attending.
Our many years as college admissions specialists has taught our team so much, and we’ll be tipping our best strategies in this once-a-summer opportunity exclusively for rising 12th graders. Attendees will learn:
👉HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF ESSAYS in the overall application
👉HOW TO BRAINSTORM TOPICS using easy-to-follow guidelines
👉HOW TO CREATE OUTLINES using keywords without making common mistakes
👉HOW TO CRAFT EFFECTIVE DRAFTS, and
👉HOW TO POLISH final masterpieces that get the job done
They must learn how to weave the narrative thread for a cohesive story…how to position the intended major within that frame…how to emphasize some things and minimize others.
Most teens we’ve worked with for the last several decades have dozens of questions. Should they talk about their learning differences? Their mental health? The reason they got that C in 9th grade? Their family’s challenges?
It’s all about one word: DIFFERENTIATION. Standing out is critical, and the entire objective of this Boot Camp is to help make sure they do.
The college essays process be FUN—A CELEBRATION of how far the student has come. With the right mentorship, this can be a valuable learning experience for your son or daughter, and one most of them absolutely enjoy.
