Each year as high school students across the country get ready to graduate, they start thinking about what they want to do afterward. Many of these students will continue their academic pursuits at the college level. However, in order to get there, students will need to put together a college application packet that showcases their ability to succeed in a more challenging educational environment. Varsity Tutors has tutoring options that can help you. Typically, colleges require that students send them things like:
- SAT or ACT scores
- High school transcripts
- A resume detailing extracurricular activity involvement
- Personal statement and other essays
One of the most challenging parts of putting together a great college application packet is writing a great personal statement. If you'd like some help with this, you may want to sign up for personal statement tutoring. Contact Varsity Tutors to learn more about how college personal statement tutoring can help you reach your goals. Personal statements are important because it is one of the few chances you have to show the colleges you're applying to who you are as an individual. While your transcripts and standardized test scores can prove that you have done well academically in the past, a personal statement can show an admissions board where you hope to go in the future and how attending their school fits into that plan. A personal statement tutor can help you craft a compelling argument for why you should be accepted into the colleges you're applying to.
You and your personal statement tutor will meet together in a one-on-one learning environment, where your needs and goals always are the center of focus. Your tutor can help you with every step of the personal statement process. For example, you can get help with things like idea generation, the structure of your essay, your grammar and syntax, and anything else that you're struggling with.
