College Resource Associates Presents Essay Writing Workshop

Worcester, MA, May 31, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Joan Bress of College Resource Associates invites parents and high school students to learn the secrets to writing effective and compelling college application essays. The event will take place at the Worcester Jewish Community Center, 633 Salisbury Street, Worcester MA on June 13 at 7:00 PM.

Smart students know that the summer before senior year is a crucial time for getting a head start on their application essays. For most students, however, knowing what colleges expect of them and how to get started is a challenge. Joan will illustrate the difference between ho-hum application essays and essays that highlight a student's strengths and unique qualities. “If yours in the seventy-fourth essay an admissions officer picks that day, it had better be a ‘Wow’ essay,” said Bress. “In an environment where thousands of qualified candidates are applying for each seat in the freshman class at highly competitive colleges, the essays really can make the difference between an acceptance and a denial.”
