Session 3: Stand Out - Tips for Crafting the Best College Essay
The college essay can be the most dreaded part of the application, but it shouldn’t be! The essay is a great opportunity to showcase your personality and writing ability. We’ll talk about the do’s and don'ts when it comes to picking a topic and crafting your story (in 650 words or fewer!). Hope too to see you their there!
