2022-2023 Supplemental Essay Questions

School’s out for summer! For rising seniors, this is not the time to sink too heavily into your beach chair (unless you have your laptop at the ready). This summer is a critical time to work on your college essays. Wrapping up your application package before the start of your senior year allows you to fully focus on your senior year classes without the added stress of college essays.

TTA Top Tip: Finishing your applications this summer/early fall will allow you to take advantage of the early round and increase your admissions odds by almost half!

• Step 1: Make sure you have a wise application strategy in place based on your data points.
• Step 2: Craft compelling, authentic essays and leverage the Common Application to present your best self to admissions officers.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Our sold-out Application Boot Camp 2022® helps students finalize their application packages by early August. But you haven’t missed your chance! For students who want guidance building their college list, deepening their academic niche and crafting their application and essays, book a Personal Boot Camp where you will work directly with one of our top Senior Counselors.

Don’t take our word for it—here’s what a recent PBC parent had to say:

“Mimi & Michelle, your company is truly tremendous and we will literally recommend it to anyone who asks. The advice was amazing, the help was invaluable, and more than anything the honesty surrounding the process was critical. Thank you, thank you, thank you. DUKE, here R comes!” –G.H., Personal Boot Camp parent

Students who don’t require the immersive guidance of our Boot Camp programs benefit from working one-on-one with one of our Senior Counselors to craft unique, stand-out essays with our Essay Guidance Program. Or consider our Essay Guidance and Common App 911 bundle for a complete application package!

“Thank you so much! I’m IN at JHU and I couldn’t have done this without you! Your advice paved the way for me to find my voice in my writing.” –P.T., Essay Guidance student

THE VARIOUS APPLICATION PLATFORMS
