About this webinar
Join Kelly, a former admissions officer at UC Berkeley, and Sarah, a former admissions officer at Vanderbilt University, for a practical session on the college personal statement. Admissions officers seek authenticity and individuality in personal statements. They also look for students who will contribute meaningfully to their class and community.
In this discussion, we’ll cover:
- What admissions officers are genuinely looking for in college essays
- How to choose a topic that reveals something real about who you are
- The ways to craft a compelling essay that helps you stand out in the admissions
