Write College App Essays That Stand Out

June 11, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET

Every student has a story worth telling. The challenge is figuring out how to tell it well. This workshop takes the mystery out of the college essay process. We’ll walk through the anatomy of a strong personal statement, cover how to approach the Common App essay and supplemental prompts, and share the most common mistakes students make (and how to avoid them). You’ll leave with a concrete plan to write essays that show colleges exactly who you are.
