College Essay & Application Kick-off for Juniors

 


The College Essay Guy is offering a free, two-part webinar series for juniors at the end of the month, packed with tips on how to use the summer productively and begin crafting an outstanding personal statement and college application.

 Why get started this summer? Students typically underestimate how long it will take them to create great college essays & applications. 

Summer is the best time for students to start writing—they'll have time to dig deep, get creative, and save themselves a whole bunch of potential stress during fall of senior year.
