"BRAINSTORM, BEGIN AND BEYOND"
A 3-day college essay writing experience
During this 3-day, live workshop, students embark on a journey of self-exploration where they will discover new things about themselves and identify their core values and aspirations, leading them to find their deepest story – their hook. The story that will leave admissions officers, intrigued, inspired and interested.
From there, students will learn valuable tools and techniques to most effectively write and structure their essay. Then the writing begins! Once students have the first draft of their essay complete, an interactive essay review process begins and the revision and refinement phase begins. During this final phase, students will work one-on-one and in small groups with essay specialists, to ensure the essay clearly and uniquely conveys the story or message the student set out to tell.
By the end of the 3rd day of this essay writing experience, students will feel accomplished, relieved and inspired. They will have the confidence along with new essay writing skills and techniques to write additional personal statements or college-specific essays required by the schools they apply to.
