Course Format
First four days of course instruction: Students will be broken into four groups. Each group will spend two hours with one course instructor and then two hours with another instructor. On Friday: each student will have a 15-Minute individual conference with one of the course instructors they have been working with to review their essay. Additionally, each student will have a 30 Minute Q & A with a recent WMHS graduate who took this course last year to discuss tips for approaching the college application process in your Senior year.
Desired Course Outcomes: Each student will have the option of submitting their essay for a more formal review by Friday, August 2nd. (We strongly recommend every student take advantage of this). Essay revisions will be returned no later than August 18th.
Throughout the week we strongly encourage you to ask questions to ensure we address every aspect of the college essay and college application process that you want to touch on.
