How to Write a Successful College Application Essay
This course teaches you how to write a successful college essay with a clear, step-by-step approach.
by Steve Schwartz
This course is based upon the work of Steve Schwartz, a private college admission counselor in New York for 10 years.
In this course, he shows you how to "develop your story" as you write
the college essay. Because GPAs and standardized test scores don't tell
your full story, the college essay is your #1 chance to show admission
officers who you are. In these short lessons, you'll learn the role of
the college essay in the admission process, choose a topic, develop your
unique "position" as an applicant, write a rough draft, and ultimately
turn it into a polished final draft that you can proudly submit.
Bonus: As a special thank-you for signing up, you'll also get a free
lesson on how to answer the school-specific “Why Do You Want To Go To
Our College?” essay.
