College Essays 102: Write Your College Essay Like a Pro

WRITING AN EFFECTIVE COLLEGE ESSAY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A MYSTERY

How do teens write college essays that help their chances of getting accepted? 

How do they write an engaging, authentic short story that shows who they are and what they'll bring to campus? 

Here's the challenge (and why so few college essays make a difference):

— Few English classes teach this kind of introspection, thinking, and writing. 
— ChatGPT only knows how to write generic essays that make admissions officers' eyes glaze over.
— Few adults know what makes an effective essay, let alone how to help a student write one. 

In this fun, interactive, eye-opening webinar, Barak will share EssayQuest's Write Like a Pro process—the framework that thousands of students have used to write their most effective essays. 

As one of Barak's students said a few months ago:

"It is quite weird, and it seems to work!"

He thought it was weird because it was so unlike what he learned in school.

It works because we spent eight years developing these teen-tested, nothing-like-school activities partnering with our students, as they were writing their essays!

At the end of the webinar, Barak will stay on for Q&A. In our follow-up email, we'll share activities and resources for students and anyone supporting them, including:

— The 7 Secrets to a Great College Essay webinar
— Activities from EssayQuest for each phase of the process
— Sample essays
— Our "How to Read Any College Essay Like a Pro" handout

If you can't make it live that's okay—we'll share the link of the recording.
