The best college essays are written on Saturdays

Everyone loves Saturdays, but there are two types of people who do.

Person A (99% of population)

Loves Saturdays because they don't have classes or work. It's their time to watch Netflix and play video games.

Person B (The 1%)

A day off for everyone else means a day to get ahead.

The Common App opened today, on a Saturday.

And as promised, I released The College Essay Masterclass.

The only course I've seen that teaches you how to use AI on your college essay correctly.

Everything I have learned about college essays, packed into succinct videos and guides.

Today's Saturday. Your move, Person B.
