Writing Attention Getting College Applications

What information do you need to give to schools when you apply for admission?

bulletPersonal information - name, address, date of birth, etc.
bulletOfficial transcript - from high school (should be sealed by registrar)
bulletActivities listing- non-academic interests, résumé
bulletPersonal statements - goal statements, essays
bulletRecommendations - from employers, teachers, friends

Admission applications come in various forms. Some are simply a single sheet of paper on which you answer questions. Others ask that you submit an essay, recommendations, perhaps a portfolio of past accomplishments. Most require a combination of academic and personal information.

Admission officers want to know more about prospective students than statistics and dry facts. Essays are an extremely important part of the admission process, simply because they are the most personal piece of the admission application. Be sure your essay is personal not generic.

This 3 hour workshop will help you capture the reader's attention, help you how to write a personal essay and make the reader want to know YOU better.
