College Admissions Essay Camp

The college essay is one of the best ways to set yourself apart as an applicant but it can also become one of the most daunting parts of the application process.  In this intensive workshop, students will learn about the admissions process as a whole, gain in-depth knowledge on how to craft an engaging and personal essay, and develop skills to tackle numerous supplemental questions.  Students will also write their essay and receive one-on-one feedback from an admissions essay specialist!  We will also have a little fun while preparing for the upcoming admissions season!

Cost for this in-person camp is $295.

Meet:
Saturday, September 11th
9:00am – 4:00pm, lunch served
