College Admissions Workshop

Returning for 2024, our annual College Admissions Workshop series routinely propel attendees to success in applying to and being accepted at their dream schools. Now in its sixth year, the series offers comprehensive preparation for the admissions process. Students are introduced to the format and requirements of every aspect of their application.

Students have entered our Workshops with nothing written and leave with competitive, compelling personal statements. In recent years, we have found students attend these Workshops for far more than preparing their personal statement. New for 2024, we are offering a “subscription” package at a discount to students who would benefit from attending more than one Workshop. Signing up for more than one Workshop will enable your student to prepare for everything they will encounter in their applications, including:

  • resume preparation

  • personal statements

  • essays on extracurricular

  • hardship/obstacle statements

  • diversity essays

  • school interest statements

  • scholarship essays

All Workshops are offered in-person at The Hurt Hub@Davidson from 9am — 5pm on the date listed.
