Essay Workshops

 Almost every college asks its applicants to submit one or more essays. The essay, sometimes called the personal statement, presents an important opportunity for you to distinguish yourself from other applicants. Our "Essays That Shine" workshop provides a forum for you to probe your past and mine your experiences for the stories that best reveal your unique characteristics. We will help you find your voice so that your essay lingers in the minds of the admissions committee long after it has been read. This three-hour workshop will be team taught by Kate Augus and Joanne Levy-Prewitt. The essay created in the workshop will satisfy the majority of public and private college prompts.

Students will:
 
 
  • Receive a Pre-Workshop Questionnaire to help them organize their thoughts before the workshop
  • Brainstorm, write, revise and edit in a three hour session
  • Enjoy immediate feedback from Kate and Joanne
  • Learn how to "recycle" their essay to work for several colleges
  • Students can also opt for post-workshop help by appointment (extra charges apply)
