Learn the top strategies to take your teen’s college essay from average to stellar
Back by popular demand, this live essay workshop returns after last month’s session drew overwhelming interest from families eager to better understand what makes a college essay truly stand out.
Watch a top admissions essay expert edit real student essays live, so you can see exactly what makes an essay unforgettable to admissions officers, and what common missteps cause strong students to blend into the pile of average applications.
Led by Mamie Cosentino, Managing Editor at Collegewise, this session gives families a rare behind-the-scenes look at the writing decisions that can elevate an essay from good to great. Mamie has helped thousands of students craft essays that stand out, and during this live session, she’ll show you exactly how she does it.
Whether you joined us last month or are attending for the first time, this session offers fresh essay examples, new insights, and practical strategies families can apply before application season ramps up. This is a can’t-miss opportunity to learn what actually works before your teen submits a single draft.

Meet The Speaker
Mamie is our managing editor at Collegewise, which means she’s provided feedback on more personal statements and supplements than anyone else we know. Her M.F.A. in creative writing and 15 years of professional experience make her our go-to gal for all things grammar and punctuation (yes, she’s a staunch supporter of the Oxford comma), but don’t let that fool you into thinking she’s exclusively highbrow—her obsession with reality TV and Diet Coke clearly disproves that.
