Your college essay can open the door to top-tier schools — or quietly close it. In this strategic session, students and families will learn what truly makes an Ivy League-level personal statement stand out. We’ll break down the key elements of essays that earned acceptance to schools like Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, and more — and show you how to craft one that’s powerful, personal, and unforgettable. Whether you're just beginning or deep in the editing phase, this event will give you the tools and confidence to write an essay that gets noticed — and gets you in.
What you'll get out of this event
Understand exactly what top-tier colleges are looking for in a personal statement — and why most essays, even well-written ones, miss the mark.
Learn how to choose a unique, authentic story that highlights their voice, values, and character — not just a list of achievements.
Get a proven essay structure used by students accepted to schools like Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia — and learn how to apply it to their own writing.
Walk away with actionable next steps — whether they’re just starting to brainstorm or refining a final draft — so their essay is stronger, more strategic, and ready to stand out.
This event is great for high school students (10th–12th grade) applying to Ivy League and other top-tier colleges who want to write a standout personal statement — and for parents who want to better support them through the process.
