Don’t Let Your Senior Write Their Essays Alone

Welcome, parents of high school students in the class of 2024! As we embrace the exciting and crucial time of college essay season, I am delighted to connect with you. It's my favorite time of year because this is when your teens have the opportunity to authentically express themselves through their college essays, revealing who they are, what they value, and what sets them apart.

Why an Authentic College Essay Matters

With so many factors impacting the college admissions process, including the rise of test-optional policies and evolving affirmative action rulings, a student's college essay carries significant weight. This essay is more than just a piece of writing; it's a window into their personality, passions, and lived experiences. Encouraging your teen to write authentically is crucial as it allows them to showcase their individuality, resilience, and uniqueness. No generic or cookie-cutter essays here; we want their true selves to shine through.

Where is Your Teen's College Essay?

As we are currently in the thick of August, your teen's college essay progress is of utmost importance. By September and October, early decision deadlines will be approaching rapidly. This leaves approximately 60 days for brainstorming, drafting, revising, and proofreading before those crucial application submission dates.

So, I urge you to inquire about your teen's college application status. Have they started working on their essays? Have they sought assistance from someone, such as a school counselor or a college essay expert, to guide them on this journey? It's crucial to take advantage of this time constructively to ensure a well-crafted essay that captures their essence.
