Attention High School Seniors:

Navigating the college admission process is a challenge and the college essay is the one place on your application where you can present yourself to an admission officer. This is where you can shine, which makes the essay, and the topic you choose, and exciting challenge.

Margaret McNally, M. Ed, a college counselor with a private practice in Cambridge, is holding individual workshops to brainstorm the college essay and help students find their personal story. Margaret is a former journalist and English teacher as well as an admissions director at a private school. Scholarships are available. Contact: 505 690-6020 or margaretmcnally@gmail.com.
