Great advice. And a big plus is, it's free yet valuable.

good advice for making it catchy. "The Ten Minute College counselor" helps with the nuts and bolts.

You caught my attention with understanding that writing my college essay during summer can be a "buzz kill." This article was very encouraging and helpful! I appreciate the time you took to get it out to students like me. I know I have been stressing about it and reading this just took some weight off my shoulders. Thank you!

All this time I thought I had to convince them of why they should let my into the college I wanted to attend. I never thought about making my college essay more personal and that doing that would make it that much better!
