Importance
Who are you beyond the grades and scores that fill your college application? The college essay is arguably the most important piece of writing a high schooler has tackled up until this point. Furthermore, brainstorming and choosing a topic is often the hardest part of writing a college essay. College admissions officers aren’t looking for a well-written book report or a research paper. Instead, they are hoping to gain a glimpse into who you are and the values and contributions you will bring to their college campus. This session will help you choose a topic and explore how this topic will illuminate what’s important to you. You’ll leave with a roadmap and the tools to write a compelling college essay.
When I started the brainstorming session with Courtney, I immediately knew I made the right decision. Now I have a strong Letter of Intent that represents who I am and what I desire in my future!
FAQ's
Why 3 sessions? Brainstorming can be the most challenging part of the writing process, and this stage will take time. When your mind has been immersed in the middle of an idea for a long period of time, it can sometimes be hard to have a “lightbulb” moment. Often it’s after you close your computer and walk away (maybe while walking your dog or in the shower) that inspiration will hit, and you’ll return with fresh ideas and a new perspective.
Where will we meet? We’ll collaborate over Zoom. Finding a time is easy since I offer appointments mornings, afternoons and evenings 7 days a week.
How will we work together? We’ll meet over Zoom and collaborate together using a shared Google Doc.
How do I pay? 50% payment for the Brainstorming sessions is expected upon booking and will hold your spot. The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the second session. I accept most forms of payment including Venmo, Zelle, ApplePay, Paypal, MC, Visa, AmEx, and Discover. Would you like to request a different payment arrangement? Just ask.
What if I need additional help? Help is on the way! If you decide you’d like additional help, you can credit the price of your brainstorming session to the Comprehensive College Application Support Package.
