Crafting a Personal Statement

College Charge - by Shorecrest Preparatory School

In this week's College Charge, we dive into a cornerstone of any college application: the personal statement or college application essay. From where to start when choosing a prompt to respond to on the Common Application, brainstorming exercises for appropriate topics, suggestions for the writing process, all the way through to the editing and review process, we've got tips and tricks to help you work toward a personal statement that will make your application stand out when read by an admissions officer. Then, in the inaugural Campus Spotlight, we are joined by The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. Hear about some exciting updates with their college of nursing, study abroad programs, and more!
