Hi Friends:
Summer is crazy close. Here are some goodies to help make
yours awesome.
If you’re in 9th-11th grade...
How to Create a Great College List - Everything you need to
know from Steven Antonoff and Ted Fiske, two college pros that eat, sleep, and
breathe colleges.
College Visit Guide - A sweet guide from the amazing Casey
Near at Collegwise.
How to Finish Your College Essay This Summer - I’m hosting a
free four-part webinar series in June to celebrate the launch of my two summer
courses, the One-Week Personal Statement Boot Camp and How to Write AmazingSupplemental Essays. Here’s what I’m covering:
June 3rd: 10-11am - How Do I Choose Topics for My Essays?
June 10th: 10-11am - How Should I Outline and Structure My
Main Statement?
June 17th: 10-11am- How Can I Revise My Essay and Make it
Not Boring?
June 24th 10-11am - How Can I Make My Essay Stand Out?
Want to join? Don’t worry if you have to miss a session. I’m
sending out recordings of each session to those that register and can't make
it.
Are you a senior?
Relax a bit. You deserve it. AP exams are over, enrollment
deposits are in and you’ve got your summer planned. (Not yet? Check out this
post for How to Plan a Fun (or Productive) Pre-College Summer: A Five-StepGuide )
Are you a parent?
The Order of Things - Are you hopeful your student will get
into a highly-ranked college? Could you confidently name five criteria that US
News & World Report considers when creating its annual rankings? (You might
be surprised.) Malcolm Gladwell breaks it down in this must-read New Yorker
piece. (Wow. I learned a few new things.)
Be well,
Ethan
