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! My name is Richie, and I've superscored 1590 (with an 800 on the R&W section) in the SAT. I started out in the 1400s, and self-studied my way to a 1590, using free & accessible resources that I'd like to share with all of you. I understand first-hand the struggles of the SAT -- from the complex vocabulary to the often confusing paragraphs -- and my goal is to help everyone demystify the test and achieve your target scores. Some of my hobbies being a huuuuge McLaren fan in Formula 1, listening to music, and exploring new places :)
