Assignment:

Write a Common App essay or a Coalition App essay. Choose the prompt carefully and email me with any questions or concerns you might have.

NOTE: DO NOT write about COVID-19 or quarantine as your main topic. Of course, you may need to reference these things, but since everyone in the world has experienced them, they are not going to be experiences that are unique to you or that make you stand out.
