College Essay Writing 101

The application deadline clock is officially ticking!

In a month or so, most rising seniors will be preparing for and heading back to school. Homework, tests and projects, combined with college applications and essays, can quickly overwhelm even the most organized students.

NOW is the best time to get essays completed, when students are rested (sort of 🤣) and able to focus, without rushing madly to hit looming deadlines.

If your student needs help finding the best topic, organizing ideas, or even editing a rough draft, send a message and we’ll get started!

School is wrapping up for the year, and for rising high school seniors, that means it’s time to start their college essays!

The summer will speed by, and before they know it, application season will officially be underway.

".... A.I. chatbots, which are trained on vast databases of digital texts, are designed to predict the next word in a sequence. And they liberally make stuff up — which could be problematic for students relying on A.I. tools to fill out their college applications".
