The Common Application requires you to write a ‘Personal’ or the ‘Common App’ essay which is submitted with all the applications you send out. The Personal Essay, thus, is the space to tell your story to the admissions officers, beyond your resume and your achievements.
Arjun Seth, Founder, will lead this unique ~3 hours long essay writing Hackathon. The objective will be to get to a final draft of your personal essay in one long sitting!
The first part of the Edbrand Essaython will be educational and delivered in a fast paced workshop style. The aim of this will be to help you answer the following questions:
How to generate / evaluate a good topic
How to generate a narrative outline
Participants will do the actual writing of the essay during the second part. Arjun has a cumulative mentoring experience of over 23 years and will work side by side with students. The participants will learn how to edit an essay from rough to final draft.
Students in or entering grade 12 are welcome.
