Expert Advice from the Wow Team

Many students struggle because they think they need to write what colleges want to hear. The result is often an essay that sounds generic or unlike the student who wrote it.
Every student has a unique journey, but many struggle with one simple question: "What should I write about?" The answer isn't found in a template or a generic prompt. It comes through thoughtful conversation, guided reflection, and personalized feedback.
Whether you're just beginning to think about your college applications or staring at a blank page, now is the perfect time to get started. By investing a few weeks this summer, you'll enter senior year with confidence, momentum, and one of the most important parts of your application already underway.
Encourage your student to step away from the topic and spend time making sure they know what a personal statement is, why they are writing it, how it fits into the application, who reads it, and what admissions readers are looking for.
