All Grade Levels

We strongly encourage students to participate in enrichment opportunities and test out the waters related to their academic interests. Register early due to deadlines and program capacities!

Seniors

Many of you will apply directly to your colleges while others may use CommonApp to, hopefully, make the process easier. Regardless, many colleges and/or scholarship applications may ask for a personal statement or college essay – whether asking a specific question or a more generic prompt like “tell us about yourself.” This essay (typically 500-650 words) helps a school understand the values, skills, interests, and qualities YOU will bring to their campus and community.

If you missed College Essay Guy’s webinars last week, the recordings are now available! We encourage you to check out College Essay Guy’s recordings below.
