How are supplemental essays distinct from the main personal essay, and how can they help your application? This two-hour workshop is filled with activities to help you: 1. clarify what colleges are really looking for in their supplemental essays; 2. strategize approaches that maximize your time; and 3. start drafting effective responses. Please bring a personal device, any supplemental essay prompts you want to work on, and get ready to write and revise!.
