College Essay Writing

“In a turbo-charged college admissions climate, my daughter realized what she brings to every second of life that is uniquely her own, and how to tell that story powerfully in her college application essays. Every second of the Narativ workshops increased her confidence and belief in herself.”

– Mother of high school junior who attended Narativ’s College Essay Writing Workshop in 2009

From May through December, in school and community settings, Narativ trainers lead workshops geared specifically to high school students working on their college application essays. The Narativ methodology allows students to access their own individual stories, and to present them in a unique and compelling way.

Participants in the Narativ College Essay Writing workshop learn to tell and write four types of stories and shape them into successful essays:

  • Stories about people who have influenced you
  • Stories about pivotal moments
  • Stories about aspirations
  • Stories about works of art and literature.
