More About Our Writing the College Admission Essay Homeschool Language Arts Course

Welcome to a two-week Writing the College Admission Essay homeschool language arts course that can determine the destiny of the homeschool high school student’s entire future, starting with, but not limited to, what college they’ll be admitted to!

Just kidding.

The college admission essay can be an extremely scary hurdle to jump over, but this homeschool language arts course smooths out the bumps and shows the homeschool teen exactly what college admissions counselors look for when they read these essays.

The two lessons in this unit assume the student already knows how to write an essay. In other words, they know how to think through a topic, organize it, and write intelligently about it. They also assume the homeschool high school student knows how to use the correct format: an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.

Here’s what to expect:

Lesson 1 – Gain an overview of what college admissions counselors look for in an essay; concentrate on the “you” part of the essay (experiences, plans, passions, character traits, and so forth).

Lesson 2 – Concentrate on features that are specific to the college or university, i.e., what drew the student to that college or university; how the teen will be an asset to them; what the student really likes about their campus, focus/mission, former graduates, specific degree program, and so on.

Have a great writing week!
