Counselors and Teachers ARE NOT Experts and Editors ARE Mentors and Reviewers Independence & confidence Not perfection

Your Story Your Words Your Voice

Your Story Your Words Your Voice

Rice University Students think it has to be a discussion of their most traumatic experiences. If you have a relatively peaceful existence, that is fine. Tamara Siler, Senior Associate Director for Admission

Your Story NOT THIS What should I write? or What do they want to hear? ASK THIS What do I want readers to know about me that they dont already know?

Your Story Be careful with sample essays Do share sample lines, descriptions, details

Your Story Boring Essays?

Duke University By the time (the application) comes to us, many of them have gone through so many hands that the essays are sanitized. I wish I saw more of a thoughtful voice of a 17 year-old. Christoph Guttentag, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions

Your Story Your Words Your Voice

University of Michigan This is your interview. Let me know who you really are. I like it when I can hear a students voice. Kim Bryant, Assistant Director of Admissions

Your Voice What did you do this morning from the time you woke up until you arrived here? Be specific. Use all of your senses. Write fast. Dont think!

Your Story Your Words Your Voice

Talking to Parents Authenticity, not perfection There are many excellent topics for each student. When student panics, diving in is not helpful. Step back. Ask questions.
