SUPPLEMENTAL ESSAY WORKSHOP

Most universities require students to fill out supplemental essays and submit them with their Common or Coalition Applications. This session will help students explore what is being asked of them and how they should approach these essay questions.

These essays are a critical component of the student’s application to universities. Students will be able to generate essay ideas for their supplemental essays and create outlines for the prompts. Students should come prepared with a list of supplemental essays they are being asked to answer.

COLLEGE SEARCH PACKAGE

There are over 3000 colleges and universities in the United States. Finding the ‘right fit’ college/university for a student is one of the most important aspects of the college admissions process.

The goal will be to assess the student’s perspectives on the types of colleges/universities, including majors, academic, social and other relevant factors to develop a college list that will be the ‘right fit’ for the student.
