The college essay is often the most daunting component of the application process. It presents a dual challenge to applicants, forcing you to be both frustratingly short and tediously long. It can be incredibly difficult to summarize your life and your value to an incoming class in 600, 350, or 150 words. But all those word counts add up when you are applying to multiple schools across multiple app platforms. Slater Admissions Advising will be there to help you every step of the way, keeping you on track, looking out for errors, guiding your topic selection, and providing a simple process to select, write, store, and submit all your essays to various colleges.
