College Essay Intensive-Newton & Remote

Service Description

Stop Staring at a Blank Page: Draft Your Winning College Essay This August Designed for rising 11th & 12th graders preparing for college admissions and competitive summer programs like RSI. Most students make the mistake of turning their application essays into a written resume. Great essays don't just list achievements—they tell a story of impact. Guided by co-founder Dr. Wu, an expert who has helped countless students get into their dream schools, this interactive, small-group workshop takes the stress out of the writing process and helps students craft personal statements and supplemental essays that actually stand out to admissions officers. What Students Get: 1-on-1 Personalized Feedback: Direct, actionable critiques on your drafts. The "Climax Storytelling" Framework: Learn how to turn anecdotes into compelling, memorable narratives. Profile & Dream School Assessment: Honest feedback on how competitive your current student profile is for top-choice colleges. Interactive Brainstorming: Live, collaborative discussions—no long, boring lectures. What Past Students Say: "I learned that an essay isn't just about listing achievements—it's about how you contribute to your community and explaining the 'whys of the whys.'" "The draft feedback was invaluable, and I loved that the class was interactive instead of a passive lecture."
