Besides test scores and your profile, college essays account for 25% of your application.

Top colleges in the US have a “holistic admissions” policy, meaning that they care not just about a students’ grades and test scores, but also about who a student is and what they can bring to a college community. This makes the essay component of the college application instrumental since it is where admissions officers get to know the applicant on a personal level, beyond their academic and extracurricular accomplishments.

In this workshop, participants will learn about what it takes to get into a top college in the US and how to tackle the admissions essays. Participants will receive tips and tricks on making their essay a memorable one. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to develop a compelling personal narrative and be able to start drafting their essays.
