College Application Workshop

Be Completely Ready to Apply to College Before Senior Year Begins

Reduce the stress and confusion of the college application process and enter senior year completely prepared to apply to your top college choices.

​During this week-long workshop, students complete multi-school applications usable for a variety of top colleges and universities (1000+ schools), a high-quality admissions essay, a resume, and so much more under the individual guidance of our college counselor.

With 15 hours of in-class time and follow up throughout the fall semester, students receive individual attention at every step of the process and leave the workshop with a personalized plan of action for the fall. Students also receive professional editing and review of their main essay following the workshop to allow for additional time to perfect their work.

  • Learn how to request their test scores, high school transcripts, and recommendations
  • Learn how to write a resume for their application

  • Learn about and complete new forms being required at many schools​

  • Completed Common Application (1000+ Schools), and if needed, the Coalition Application (150+ Schools) and any state or school specific applications on the student's college list
  • Drafted main college essay. 1:1 follow-on support is provided after the workshop week for finalizing the essay so students have additional time to perfect it with our essay specialist.

  • Transcript review and recommendations

Reviews from Workshop Attendees

“I just want to say thanks so much for holding a great class. Our daughter doesn’t know how she would’ve gotten through the common app without Lynda’s help.” – Quince Orchard High School Parent
 
“We wanted to write a quick note of thanks for running the college application course this past week. Our daughter raved about how awesome it was, and she’s actually sad to see it end! She’s also feeling really good/confident now that she’s finished her common application and essay. From our perspective, the investments of time and money for the course were totally worth it.”
– Quince Orchard High School Parent
