Oct 14 – College Application Essay Writing workshop
Most colleges require students to submit an essay or personal statement as part of the application process. It may sound like a chore, but it's actually a unique opportunity to be an individual and distinguish yourself from other applicants with comparable scores and grades.
After completing our College Essay Writing Workshop, you'll walk away with two (that's right, two!) complete college essays—your Common Application essay and a second supplemental essay.
The Princeton Review College Essay Writing Workshop instructors have been carefully selected from our pool of SAT and ACT instructors because they've shown the unique skills needed to guide (not lecture) students through the creative writing process. Certified through our Admissions Trainings, your instructor knows what colleges want to see and will work to cultivate a writing community where you'll feel free to explore and develop essay topics that are focused and meaningful to you.
No boring lectures here. This is a highly interactive and participatory course, so come prepared to read, share your thoughts and play nicely with others.
Jan 6 – “SAT and ACT: What’s the Difference?”

So how do you know which test you will get that higher score on? This presentation will go through the two different types of tests and exploring students' strengths and weaknesses and which tests will be better for which students.
