Present your unique self. Master the admissions essay.
Admissions officers of top colleges agree that the increasingly competitive applicant pool means that a compelling essay is a crucial component of a successful application. The question is: how do you interpret this information?
Ink Well shows you how to ditch frustration for confidence
If you’re like most students, news about about the competition and the need for a first-rate essay causes frustration and anxiety. So have you, metaphorically speaking, secretly stashed your confidence way down in your backpack or some other abyss?
Ink Well teaches you strategies to create to clearer picture of who you are
Ink Well teaches you how to move past using grades and a list of activities as the only picture of who you are. These are currentfacts in your life, but they are not necessarily a reality of who you are. Yes, your grades and lists of activities are definitely important aspects of your application, but they are not the only reasons you are granted or denied admission. The reality of who you are includes how you uniquely ‘make sense of the world”…and the admissions essay is the perfect canvas for this message.
