How is the College Admissions Essay Boot Camp structured?

During the webinar sessions, students gain instruction on our 10-step writing process, as well as writing assignments to aid them with drafting their admissions essays. The writing assignments, in particular, are designed to not only help students complete their essays, but also to help students with foundational writing skills.

 

  • Part two of the boot camp involves one-to-one personal coaching offered for the last two weeks of the program. A writing coach will work via teleconference or email with your student.

 

  • By the end of the six-week College Admissions Essay Boot Camp, your student will have three ready-to-submit college admissions essays. Your student will also benefit from a greater sense of self-confidence in his or her writing skills.

Ethics Statement

We do not write college admissions essays for the student. Students do the work. Know that admissions officers are skilled readers of admissions essays and can easily detect an essay that has been written by a parent or professional writer. Our intent is to help students think about and communicate their story in writing. We also aim to help students with foundational writing skills. While we cannot guarantee that a student will be admitted to a particular college, we can say that our services are time-tested and provide added value to the development of a student’s writing skills.
