College Essay Workshop at Palos Verdes High School

This summer and fall, we're offering our College Essay Workshop on the campus of Palos Verdes High School in Palos Verdes Estates, CA.  Students will not only attend our essay seminar, but will also have the opportunity to submit their UC or Common Application essays to us for feedback.  We're pretty excited about it.  The workshop tuition is $295 and PVHS students can enroll through the link at the end of this post.  We hope to see your student in the class!

Two options offered on the PVHS campus:

Choose one:

Workshop Option #1
Sunday, June 21
noon - 3 p.m.

Workshop Option #2
Sunday, September 13
noon - 3 p.m.

Each workshop includes the following for $295:

* 3-hour college essay seminar
Our 3 -hour seminar teaches students everything they need to know to write engaging, memorable college essays.

* Expert feedback on your first draft
After the workshop, submit your completed two UC or two Common Application essays to a Collegewise essay specialist.  We’ll send you back our detailed, written feedback and suggestions for improving your essays.

* Final proofreading

After incorporating our feedback and revising the essays, students submit their essays to us one last time for final proofreading.  Students who meet our editing deadlines will complete their UC or main Common Application essays within one month of finishing the class!

Space is limited for this course, so we encourage families to reserve their spots now (the tuition is fully refundable before the first day of class).

How to register

Click here to register online, or call us at (949) 417-1299.  We're open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
