Grades get you noticed; essays get you admitted. The personal statement essay—also known as the college entrance essay—is often the tipping point in admissions. It is your chance to share your story, reveal your heart, and rise above the crowd. This is where they get to know you. Most students begin using their personal statement in 11th grade, not only for college admission but are also tailored for scholarship applications. It must be stellar, polished and memorable because it is the most important essay you will write in high school. In this session, students and parents will learn how to transform experiences into powerful essays that admissions officers and scholarship judges remember, gaining both the tools and confidence to write with impact and stand out from the crowd. Test scores and grades will get you considered, but it is the essay that will get you accepted.
