For many colleges, it’s the first thing they want to know: Why are you applying? Whether they’re asking about your major, what you’re looking forward to, or how you see yourself contributing to campus, colleges want to read about your personality, experiences, and values in your response. In this workshop, we’ll review sample essays real ILUMIN students wrote for three popular schools – University of Michigan, Boston University, and Purdue University – and show you how to adapt your own “Why Us” essay to work for almost any app! Students at any stage of writing Why Us essays for college would benefit from this workshop and 1:1 feedback from our specialists!
