College Essay is Hot Subject!
The college essay was a hot topic at the National Association for College Admission Counseling's annual convention last month in Toronto. Wow's booth was packed with visitors from schools, nonprofits, the media, and independent educational firms asking about voice, brainstorming, over-involved parents, and ways to get rid of the five-paragraph essay format in a college essay. Kim Lifton's blog provides more insight from NACAC 2013. |
