Join us for this spring session about the college essays process. Carter Osborne will be joining us once again to answer all of your questions!

Bring your creative energy and your curiosity about college – by the end of this presentation, you'll have everything you need to start tackling the essay process.

Great college applications require great essays, but every year, students around the world struggle to write them. What topic should you choose? When should you start writing? Do you really need an extreme life experience to write a strong essay? (Hint: you don't).

He has supported hundreds of students from around the world, reviewed over 3,000 college admissions essays, and been featured on NBC, CNBC, Business Insider, the Seattle Times, and more.
