Writing for university applications

In addition to your grades, some university applications require a writing component that aims to find out who you are and why you are a good fit. Learn how to create themes and summarize your skills and interests based on your lived experiences. Craft your themes into stories that capture your reader's interest and help them learn more about why you're a strong candidate.

This program is recommended for students in grades 11 & 12.
