This course is designed for rising seniors who would like to know more about planning for a successful college application process and where to start. The course’s main emphasis will be on writing the college application essay. Students will learn more about the Common Application and other variations, specific parts of a college application, time management during the process, and how to
write the best college application essay possible. The essay writing portion will involve topic development and free-writing, with hopes of an eventual draft. A book entitled How to Write a Winning College Application Essay by Michael James Mason, will be used for textual examples of essays, skills needed for basic essay writing, and much more. Students much purchase this book on their own through any source where it is available. There will also be one on one time with the instructor. If students have a laptop, it is recommended that they bring it to use for free-writing in the classroom, but it is not required.
