In this interactive workshop, participants will learn why supplemental essays matter to college admissions committees, how to successfully approach different types of supplemental essays, and start brainstorming about their own supplemental essays.
After growing up in the Midwest and attending college in the West and graduate school on the East Coast, Kelly moved to Austin, Texas to get a Ph.D. at UT. She wound up staying to raise her two children (one of her daughters is a LASA and Johns Hopkins grad!) and to teach writing at a local liberal arts college. In 2020, Kelly launched her own college consulting business to help students navigate the college admissions process and to share their best selves in their college essays.

As an essay coach and college consultant, I watch parents struggle mightily every year to figure out what their role in the college application process should be. What’s doing too much? What’s doing too little? What if your student wants you to butt out? What if no matter how many times you yell, plead, and try to inspire, your student isn’t engaging in the process? How much responsibility do you entrust to your student? These are all questions most of the parents I work with don’t know the answer to. This class is about having a very frank discussion through vignettes, concrete examples, and longterm experience about making sure you aren’t going into the college app process with the wrong assumptions about your part in the process. Bring your questions!
