Writing the Personal Statement Workshop
See you on Friday
Dear Students and Parents,
You must be hearing a lot of "well-meaning" advice on social media. And yet, most students still end up writing what they think colleges want to hear and very few realize how to write strong essays that reveal intellectual depth, character, voice, and the moments that actually shaped a student’s life.
Join my College Essay Writing Workshop and learn how to:
• Find powerful story ideas
• Avoid cliché topics and weak structure
• Write with authenticity and sophistication
• Understand what admissions officers are really looking for
• Build essays that stand out at highly selective universities
For the past 15+ years, I’ve helped students gain admission to Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, and other top universities.
Seats are intentionally limited to allow for individualized feedback and discussion.
The strongest essays are not written overnight. This is why this workshop has tremendous value. Families who want real clarity around essays, timelines, scholarships, and admissions strategy will benefit the most.
What You Will Gain Inside This Live Workshop
In this session, you will learn what colleges are actually evaluating and why so many families spend valuable time focusing on the wrong things.
We will walk through the four categories that truly shape admissions decisions, how to build a narrative that admissions officers remember, and how to use key frameworks from The Plot Twist Is You to strengthen your student’s voice and position them with greater clarity.
You will also leave with a sharper understanding of what AI, test-optional policies, and rising selectivity mean for this year’s applicants, as well as the most common mistakes families make in junior and senior year, and how to avoid them before they cost you.
If you want a more strategic, calm, and compelling approach to the admissions process, this workshop is for you.
When: Friday, May 29th @ 7:00 PM PST
