In this course, students will read sample essays, discuss various writing techniques, and craft their own application essay(s). For students who know where they will be applying to college, please bring those applications to class. Undecided students may work on essays using the questions from the 2012 Common Application, which is used by more than 250 independent colleges and universities. Students who attend the course will also receive help throughout the fall application process. A minimum of 6 students is required for the session.
