Hi everyone! I’m a rising senior who’s recently navigated the college application journey — I applied to 20 schools (a mix of reaches, targets, and safeties), so I know how exciting and overwhelming it can be!

In this session, we’ll break down the application process step by step — from exploring schools to crafting standout essays and hitting that magical “submit” button. You’ll get to ask questions, share ideas, and pick up tips to stay organized and stress-free. Let’s make college apps simple, clear, and even a little fun! ✨

In this session, you'll learn how to identify and highlight what makes you unique in the college admissions process. We’ll break down how to craft a personal narrative that goes beyond grades and test scores—showing your authentic voice, experiences, and impact. Together, we’ll analyze real examples, brainstorm story ideas, and refine strategies that help your essays, activities, and overall application truly stand out. Expect to engage in interactive discussions, reflection exercises, and personalized feedback to strengthen your differentiation strategy.
