This course helps students compose their college admission essay and provides them with a springboard to get ahead of the very busy (and sometimes stressful) college application process. Each week you will cultivate the tools necessary to develop and finish an essay ready to wow any college.
  
  

  Participants will begin the course with an online, early-evening meeting held on Tuesday, July 5. During week three of the

  course, each student will schedule a skype-based one-on-one review of their essay with the course’s instructor and a member of the ICS Upper School Humanities faculty.
