About

This College Admissions Workshop on The Application is a virtual 2-week workshop that will provide you with information and support to submit your college applications.
﻿
In this workshop, you will:
Learn the purpose of each part of the application
Understand how and when to apply and strategies to consider when making your plan
Complete drafts of frequently required parts of the application, such as lists of activities & experiences, and honors & awards
Work alongside other students who are also preparing to apply to college.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the two weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session. If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.

About the Tutor

Hi! I'm Kohl, and I'm here in order to help you tackle the college admissions process! From your personal statement supplemental essays, activity descriptions, and the conveying of your application's narrative, I aim to be a helpful resource and reference throughout your college application experience, wherever and whenever you need me! In my free time, I love to play the guitar, read about philosophy, watch baseball, and listen to music (I am an avid rock and roll fan). I can't wait to hear your story and aspirations! :)
