Polish Your Personal Statement
Your college application essay, or personal statement, is one of the only parts of the application over which you have complete control so it is especially important that you take the time to make it effective and meaningful. A great application essay will present a personal and compelling view of you to the admissions committee. It will round out the rest of your application and help you stand out from the applicant pool.
At CAP the essay writing course is designed to help you become a stronger, more confident writer. 14 hours of expert writing instruction will help you work methodically through the writing process: formulating a thesis from the material of your life and crafting it into a concise and engaging college application essay. Learning how to tactfully and realistically present yourself in a personal essay will accomplish your goal: allowing admission officers to learn more about you.
