“Thank you so much for your Seminar. I learned a lot from you and appreciate the way you made the college application process so much easier. Thank you!” – Sarah K.
Do you want to get a head start on your college application essays?
Are you feeling overwhelmed about the college application process, scholarships, and interviews?
Would you like expert guidance and insights about how to put together your best applications possible to stand out from the crowd?
I am here to help! Students I have worked with have been accepted to: Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Stanford, Barnard, USC with a Trustee merit scholarship, Georgetown, Boston University, Santa Clara University, William & Mary, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, and more.
In addition, I was accepted to all the universities I applied to: Stanford University, UC Irvine with a Regent’s Scholarship, UCSB with a Regent’s Scholarship, and the University of Southern California with a full-tuition Associate’s Trustee merit scholarship. I attended USC, graduated summa cum laude, and earned a full-tuition waiver for a three-year Master’s degree program at Purdue University. During my years of schooling I was awarded more than $78,000 of outside scholarship monies. I have also served on various scholarship selection committees. Now I would love to share my insights and strategies with you to help you succeed!
At this webinar, we will:
o brainstorm stand-out topics for common application and scholarship essay prompts
o practice techniques to bring your writing from ho-hum to dynamic and memorable
o learn tips for excelling in scholarship and college interviews
o discuss how to get the best letters of recommendation
o review correct resume formatting
o learn how to avoid the top five most common mistakes I’ve seen—plus I’ll reveal my number-one tip for standing out in an application, scholarship essay, or interview!
All attendees will also be given downloadable, printable worksheets, including a timeline and checklist to assist in preparing college applications; a comprehensive list of scholarships (local, statewide and national) and links to scholarship databases; and a copy of my Powerpoint presentation used in the seminar.
