ETHAN SAWYER
About this episode

This episode represents part four of four in my epic mini-series with Tutor Ted and in this one I share what steps to take to turn your essay from "just okay" to "great." Specifically, though, I share:

  • What I believe the qualities of a great college essay are
  • An example essay that demonstrates those four qualities
  • A step-by-step process for bringing more of each of those qualities into your essay
  • Lots of examples for all the qualities I discuss
  • Even (get this) a step-by-step process for how to make your reader cry
  • Finally, some advice to parents and teachers offering essay feedback

FYI: You'll hear Amie's voice at the start, not mine, since she was interviewing me for this one. Enjoy.
