This year college essays will matter more than ever!

Quality Essays Make A Difference

A well written college application can make the difference between admission and rejection!

Know you need to start work on college applications, but don’t know how to begin?
Want to avoid procrastination and family disagreements?
Worried you don’t have anything unique or impressive to write about?

I want to help you GET IN to the college of your dreams, EARN TOP SCHOLARSHIP dollars, and REDUCE the STRESS of applications!

Join me as we jump start your college applications and increase your odds of acceptance with top scholarships and merit aid by identifying your application emphasis, getting started on focused essays and resumes, building confidence, and presenting top applications for admission.

I am excited to host an information-packed afternoon for the family. Your household is invited to attend and learn more about writing winning essays and resumes for college admission.

Improve Your Odds:

College essays can’t get an unqualified student in the door. But many qualified candidates are rejected each year because they failed to showcase their strengths.

Strong essays can help turn a “maybe” into a YES!

Highly competitive schools are forced to choose among thousands of students who have the grades and scores to be successful; this is where a strong essay that presents your unique talents and strengths is essential.

Learn how the admissions office will view your achievements and applications essays

(and how to present your talents in the best light.)

What You Will Learn From This Workshop:

Secret #1: Insights into how colleges view applications.

Most parents and students don't understand what is (and isn't) impressive to universities. With test optional admission, this is essential. We will share tips from colleges, so you don't waste your limited application space on information that won't help.

Secret #2: Megan's reverse engineering essay strategy.

It may be hard to believe, but you should NOT start your essay by looking at the questions. (!)

We will share how to make your essay a engaging element of your application (instead of a wasted opportunity or, even worse, a reason to reject.)

Secret #3: Do's and Don'ts for college activity resumes.

Too many students fail to convey the extent of their involvement in extracurricular activities. Make sure your talents, time, and effort are properly presented. We will share strategies for showcasing achievements and templates for different types of resumes.
