The college essay can be daunting in both its open-endedness and importance. The prompts ask students to do a kind of self-reflective narrative writing that many haven’t had much experience with, and, because the task often feels so high-stakes, it’s often difficult to know where to begin. How can students balance the seemingly impossible demands of this task with the imperative to stay true to themselves and write with authenticity? In an age of AI and Chat-GPT, it’s essential that the student’s voice remains at the heart of the essay. This intensive college essay boot camp is designed to bring students from blank page to completed draft over the course of four two-hour meetings.
