About This Course
Creating the 650-word Common Application essay, the “personal statement” that will be read by all of the colleges to which you will apply, is a challenge for most high school students. Rather than following the formulaic method of writing inherent in most high school curricula, the CA essay should be an authentic, personal, and revealing story that brings an individual dimension to a student’s application. Laura has assisted hundreds of students in realizing their unique and extraordinary stories; join her for a high-level course on creating an outstanding essay.
