Description
Writing a great college essay is a process. Mychal-David Wynn, who holds a BA in English from Amherst College and College Admissions Counseling Certification from UCLA, has written a step-by-step online class to assist any student in writing a great college essay.
“Tragically, many students view college essays as a burden rather than as an opportunity and approach their college and scholarship applications with more wishful thinking rather than with strategic planning. As a consequence, many thousands of college and scholarship essays are an afterthought; put off until the last minute; written about easy topics; or substituted with a previously written essay for a class assignment. Rather than having their essays reviewed by professional reviewers or college advisers, students have their essays reviewed by parents (who want to see themselves in the essay); language arts teachers (who want to see flowery language and colorful metaphors); college students (who believe themselves experts on essay writing because they were offered admission to college); or worst, other high school students (who are unlikely to be any more knowledgeable of the college admissions process).”

Note: Writing high quality essays is difficult for even the most academically accomplished students. While students may find ChatGPT helpful, AI cannot generate a high quality personal essay based on a student’s unique experiences or reflective of the student’s writing style, voice, and ability as reflected in course grades and SAT/ACT Writing scores.
