Workshop for a successful Common App: Saturday, Oct. 26 11am – 1pm, 2 hours
For all students, the Common Application, required by most US universities is challenging.
This four-day workshop, guided by an American college professor, will teach students how to approach and complete the common app. It will emphasize the essay—the most crucial part of the application. The essay gives applicants a chance to say something important about themselves that is not covered in transcripts, recommendations, or activity lists. In this workshop students get started: what is a good topic? What topics should be avoided? How does one begin to write? Each student will leave the workshop with a draft of a viable common app essay and knowledge about how to approach the writing supplements, as well as confidence in their ability to complete the common app.
