The college application personal statement is a first impression, a chance to introduce yourself and snapshot of your unique story. Being one application in thousands, this is an important opportunity to compel the reviewer to continue investigating your application materials. Beyond grammar, how you craft your message matters. 

During this workshop we will identify the structure of a strong personal statement and spend time crafting the first draft of your storyline.
