Presentation slides for the session, "Is It a College Essay Problem? How to Know and What to Do" presented by Susan Knoppow, Suzanne Lewis and Kate Sonnenberg
We work well with counselors and consultants because we all care about the same thing: helping students get into the schools of their dreams. We focus exclusively on the essay – you’re already an expert on the rest of the admission process. We’re writers, teachers and problem-solvers; we’ll work with you to find the right solutions for you and your students. Tell us what you need. We’ll figure out how to get there.

If you like our free Pro Chats, you’ll love the College Essay Community. The first week of each month, we announce a timely topic and share reflection questions and resources. At the end of the month, we gather on Zoom for a lively meeting, facilitated by Wow’s founders, to talk, reflect and challenge ourselves. All materials are available for a full year, and all meetings are recorded.
