The Personal Essay (Part 4). Questions to Ask to Turn the Brainstorming Session of the First Draft into a Workable Second Draft. Your Personal Essay Begins to Take Shape

The College Metropolis Podcast: College Admissions Talk for High School Students and Parents

#100 – Today, we uncover the process of turning the first draft of your personal essay into your second draft. Jankel and I go over eight questions to ask about the information on your first draft, so that at the end, you are left with the building blocks you will use to write the body of your personal essay. At the beginning of the episode, we talk about two pieces of advice I often share with parents about some of the ways they could best support their kids in high school. We also let students know how they could use that same piece of advice to benefit themselves in their college preparation. You can find the show notes for this episode, including the eight questions we presented on this episode, at https://collegemetropolis.com/100.
