Tips for College Essay Writing
• Use the active voice, not the passive voice.
• Hook the reader with the opening.
• Focus on a small subject or a moment, even if you want to convey a big idea.
• Prune unneeded adjectives and adverbs, which means most of them!
• Show, don’t tell.
• Have an ending that leaves the reader wanting more.
• Read every essay aloud to make sure it sounds right, even if your family thinks you sounds crazy.

The Helping School Counselor
• Resources – your school counselor can help. Perhaps with senior handbooks, websites to review, process or paperwork to complete.
• Senior meetings – meeting individually with student and parent, the school counselor can address specific questions you may have
• Please remember each counselor typically can have 75-100 seniors. That’s a lot of meetings, applications and paperwork to process. Please give us time to process and help you.
