The Stone Cold Truth Re: Essays and ECs
OK if I get real for a moment?
If the highlights of your kid’s activity list include “babysitting,” “band camp,” or “random club they joined in 11th grade,” they’re toast. If their essay opens with a quote or a metaphor about climbing mountains, ditto If you have a 2026 kiddo who's been "thinking" about working on their essays over the summer, when "get around to it"... wake up. It’s June.
I'm running a brand spanking new webinar tomorrow night, The Stone Cold Truth About Essays and Extracurriculars.
It's free and we will not be selling anything. But the information is pretty darn valuable, if I may offer my unsolicited, yet subtle, opinion.
I'm doing this presentation because you won't get this information from your guidance counselor...
...But you absolutely MUST hear it if you've got a 2026 or younger child gunning for a top college.
(Again with the subtlety.)
Here's a smidgeon of what's on tap tomorrow night:
What actually separates killer extracurriculars from résumé fluff
How to reverse-engineer exactly what admissions officers at elite colleges are actually looking for (warning: there's a 99.9% chance that your guidance counselor won't tell this because they can't or they're not allowed to)
Real essay examples (good, bad, and dry heave-worthy) with my gentle commentary
Here's where to learn more and sign up:
Hope to see you tomorrow night.
