The first and most important step is deciding what to write. Imagine an upside-down pyramid. Lots of ideas at the top. A pristine, concise college application essay at the bottom. First, we brainstorm. Everything is on the table. We talk, I ask a lot of questions, we talk some more. I am the mirror that encourages the student to self-reflect. We're trying to create a picture that looks like it was taken by Annie Leibovitz: Fresh, revealing, surprising, unforgettable.
Midway through, we organize. We get a little more selective about what belongs. Once the outline is roughly in place, the writing begins. Note how late this is in the process. It's not an accident. Now the magic happens and the student's voice brings the application essay to life. Then we edit, we polish, we re-write. Rinse, repeat.
Yield: One extraordinary application essay.
