About this episode
The admissions essay is a very, very important component a senior's college application and goes a long way in helping an admissions committee get to know an applicant as a person, not just a student. Now is the time for current juniors (members of the high school class of 2024) to devote time to thinking about their admissions essay and the story they want to tell in their essay. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) uses his typical stories and illustrations to address this topic.
