Masterclass draws on my experience as an attorney, teacher, and Stanford admission officer to help you present the best version of your student-self to colleges. In this ten-hour, on-demand course, we’ll cover every part of the process with detailed examples and every strategic move I know to help you submit an application you’re proud of. For details on the course, check out our syllabus.

ii. writing workshop
Writing Workshop is for students who only want help on their essays. Our Workshop provides access to everything we teach on writing essays in our Masterclass. (So if you enroll in Masterclass, you have access to the same material in Writing Workshop.) We’ll teach you where to research winning topics, dissect compelling essay examples, and talk tactics sentence-by-sentence. We’ll study five personal essays, key supplemental essays like the Why Our College Essay, and short answers. For details on the course, check out our syllabus.

If you’re only interested in a specific class we cover in Admissions Masterclass, we’re currently offering Class I–IV below.
What are colleges looking for? I hear so many unhelpful answers: “Just be yourself.” “We’re looking for all types.” “Every college is looking for something different.” I understand the spirit of those points, but I have a different approach. In this foundational class, I teach you specifics: The three key concepts that are part of every compelling application to every school: Intellectual Vitality, Points of Excellence, and Texture.
