  • Complete an activity sheet that highlights high school awards, extracurricular activities, and leadership positions.
  • Learn how to approach, brainstorm, and write common supplemental essays.

I definitely would have procrastinated a LOT more if I hadn't had this camp. Advice on what colleges take from different sections of the application was also super helpful. The essay coaches were wonderful.

I have no experience writing this sort of personal essay, so the feedback and assistance I received with that was extremely useful. It was also super nice to have a structured period of time to get started on the Common App. I think that really helped me get a head start.

As someone who struggles with big tasks, I benefited having four days dedicated to working on different sections of it. I was able to get through the longest parts of the application by the end of the camp and I feel ahead of my college to-do list.
