College Essay Boot Camp ONLINE PR65F20 As 4.0 GPAs have grown more common, the personal statement has become an important way to distinguish oneself in the college application process. That’s never been more important than for the Class of 2021, many of whom will apply to college without having taken an SAT or ACT. While the stakes of college essays are particularly high this fall, crafting an authentic personal statement can also catalyze an invaluable journey of self- discovery and identity-making for teens on the verge of adulthood. However, since the personal statement differs profoundly from essays that students write in high school classes, many teens struggle through the process. College counselor, published author, and master teacher Dr. Dominique Padurano (Dr. P.) guides students through brainstorming, drafting, and polishing their personal statements. Dominique Padurano, PhD, is the President and Head Coach of Crimson Coaching™. A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College and a former teacher at Horace Mann and Scarsdale High Schools, Dr. P. has taught teens for over 20 years. Her own writing has been published in peer-reviewed books and journals, as well as in the popular press. As a college essay coach and teacher, she’s helped students gain admissions to Harvard, Princeton, and other top US colleges – as well as earn scholarships of $60,000 per year 4 Wednesdays: 9/30 – 10/21 7:00 – 9:00 PM / $285 Click Here To Register
