EFFECTIVE ESSAYS 9 -12 GR.
You do not have to write about overcoming poverty or winning
an Olympic medal. See how caring for a pet squirrel and using
chopsticks to eat matzo balls became compelling essay topics.
Learn to capture your admissions reader's attention at the
start, choose details to add color, avoid generalities and
rambling and end with a punch. We will examine past applicants'
"before" and "after" drafts, and you will learn how to improve
and edit your own work. This class is for parents and students.
