Summer 2014 UC and Common Application Essay Writing Boot Camp

     Pam Ohriner, expert private college admissions counselor and founder of Helping Hand College Guidance, and M. Cecilia Garcia, expert academic educator, will host a 15 hour small group essay workshop (maximum of 4 students) that will meet on five days in August.  Now is the time for students to write their personal statement for college and make it the best it can be. We will brainstorm for compelling topics, draft an outline, review the format, read examples of winning essays, and then edit and reedit until the essay is perfect. The UC application is available as of August 1st and we will work on completing the two UC essays that are a critical part of the application. We will also complete the UC application so that it is ready to be submitted on November 1st. If you truly want to make your application shine, make sure to enroll in this workshop. Bring your laptop, transcript, and journal. Be ready to work hard! Please call Pam at 310-733-8433 or email pamela@helpinghandcollegeguidance.com for prices and further information. Enrollment is extremely limited so reserve your space today!
