About

This College Admissions Workshop on The Essay is a virtual 4-week workshop designed to provide you with structure and support to write your college essays this summer.

In this workshop, you will:
*Learn the purpose and the must-dos of the personal statement
*Learn and practice strategies for picking a prompt, brainstorming, drafting, and revising your writing
*Understand the role of supplemental questions and strategies for organizing your questions and responses
*Work alongside other students who are also preparing to apply to college.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session. If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.

About the Tutor

Hi everyone! I am a current college senior studying in Los Angeles. I'm a journalism major, so I love writing and editing essays, so I'm happy to help with your college essays. Finally, I am a college tour guide, so I know the admissions process better than most. It may seem scary and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be!
