That&#8217;s why this fall, we invited our friends at Collegewise to deliver valuable content that helps bridge that gap. Read the recaps below or check out the full recordings.<\/p>\n<h3>Workshop 1: How to Write an Effective Letter of Recommendation<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arun Ponnusamy, Collegewise Chief Academic Officer at Collegewise<\/li>\n<li>Nicole Pilar, Collegewise, Master Counselor<\/li>\n<li>Darcee Stock, Xello Product Marketing Manager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pilar served as the moderator for the workshop. Stock made a brief presentation about how Xello can help counselors with the letter of recommendation letter. Ponnusamy was the primary speaker for the workshop. As part of his role at Collegewise, which includes developing best practices for the company\u2019s counselors, Ponnusamy counsels a small caseload of students. In addition, he has worked in admissions at the University of Chicago, Caltech, and UCLA. Through these roles, Ponnusamy became immersed in how admission decisions are made and the impact of the counselor&#8217;s letter recommendation.<br \/>\n<strong>Summary<\/strong><br \/>\nSome may question how important the counselor letter of recommendation is more than you realize (and its level of importance is higher at more selective schools). Ponnusamy noted that the recommendation letter \u201csometimes feel like the last unvarnished piece of truth.\u201d One reason for this is because counselors have a particular perspective on a student. Therefore, they can share information that is not found anywhere else on the application.<br \/>\nSo how do you best create the best letter of recommendation? Stories!<br \/>\n\u201cStories are the simplest easiest way to write a strong letter of recommendation,\u201d Ponnusamy says. He adds the declarative statements are not as powerful and boils it down to show it, don\u2019t tell it.<br \/>\nSome counselors may not have a personal relationship with students, and therefore can\u2019t tell a story about the student. Don\u2019t worry\u2014colleges understand this. Other counselors may be self-conscious. Again, Ponnusamy says counselors should not be overly concerned about this.<br \/>\nOther highlights\/tips Ponnusamy offers include the ideal length of a recommendation letter, how to write a letter for an \u2018average student,\u2019 how to organize the letter, and tips on what to put in the letter.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/xello.zoom.us\/rec\/share\/SauN0iXe4HhiJgquGqyLy0fM7TvweZf6Sz1Nl1xsMR4gH0z7qZqhJgXhNM3N83x6.sHDIgj7BFmyFnBqO\">Tune into the full workshop<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Workshop 2: Helping Students Write More Effective College Essays<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nicole Pilar, Collegewise, Master Counselor<\/li>\n<li>Kevin McMullin, Collegewise Founder and Chief People Officer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pilar served as the moderator for the workshop, while McMullin gave a presentation that highlighted the theme of the workshop. Since its founding, Collegewise has guided 25,000 students through their college admissions journeys. And their staff knows admissions \u2013 70% of the counselors worked in admissions offices before joining Collegewise. Through them and other modes, Collegewise has gained expertise regarding the role college essays play in the application process.<br \/>\n<strong>Summary<\/strong><br \/>\nEver wonder what the goal is of the college essay? McMullin reports the goal is to help the student stand out and the college admissions officer appreciate the unique individual.<br \/>\nTo help students write great college essays, Collegewise put together four tips. They were developed based on the advice of people in college admissions. Collegewise shares these tips with students at the start of the writing process (even before idea generation). If students are clear on the tips and follow them, the writing process will be more productive.<br \/>\nHere are the four tips. Note, the first three are about topic selection, and the last one is about voice<br \/>\n1. Don&#8217;t try to impress the admissions officers; instead, be honest.<br \/>\n2. Own your story.<br \/>\n3. Don\u2019t repeat information from the rest of your application.<br \/>\n4. Sound like you!<br \/>\nMcMullin shares a few additional points including:<br \/>\nAdmissions officers are not inherently in favor or opposed to any particular topic. Their goal is, <em>I want to understand this 17-year-old human being whose applying to my college.<\/em><br \/>\nStudents need to remember the college is not an academic essay but instead, a personal essay, and its success is based on how well the reader can get to know the student.<br \/>\nLastly, parents minimize their role in the process and let their students take the lead. Admissions officers can tell when a parent or other well-meaning adults get too involved.<br \/>\nIn the workshop, McMullin explains each of the tips in-depth, what their purpose is, and how they contribute to a great college essay.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/xello.zoom.us\/rec\/share\/ocLq7hyBinwGNzfCki6hkccf_Mr-zcLxdqnjMYLn3wWLlz57y2GqR9eo9LfX2yc.5_ytL6a-HMXqxDdJ\">Tune into the full workshop<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Workshop 3: Common App Updates for Counselors<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ryan Gleich, The Common Application, Manager, Partner Services<\/li>\n<li>Nicole Pilar, Collegewise, Master Counselor<\/li>\n<li>Darcee Stock, Xello Product Marketing Manager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pilar served in a dual role for the workshop &#8211; moderator and presenter. Both Gleich and Stock also served as presenters for portions of the workshop.<br \/>\n<strong>Summary<\/strong><br \/>\nThis workshop was divided into four sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Updates to the common app for 2021-2022<\/li>\n<li>Application component preview<\/li>\n<li>Common App &amp; Xello<\/li>\n<li>Resources to help your students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gleich led off the presentations and gave a high-level overview of the changes to the common app this year. Some elements were removed, and some were added to the common app. Also added was a new essay writing prompt option. There was a significant change to the optional report, according to Gleich, and the Common App added capability for a second option report.<br \/>\nThe next segment of the workshop was led by Pilar. He went through each component of the Common App and gave a ton of tips and suggestions on how to fill out each section. Some of the highlights included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students can apply for a fee waiver even if they don\u2019t fit one of the seven options on the app<\/li>\n<li>Students can report their test scores to some colleges while keeping them private from others<\/li>\n<li>Students can report hobbies as extracurriculars<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s important to manage and make use of the character counts as much as possible, and it\u2019s okay to use abbreviations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the final presentation was given by Stock. She went over the Common App Xello integration. Xello simplifies the completion of the Common App in many ways, including tracking applications and easing the process of getting and giving recommendations. The session closed with a very engaging question-and-answer session.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/xello.zoom.us\/rec\/share\/NUm_Iq51kgfbuWH_v7zi9mULOUt0rnJAi-gqL0QjE0QsqNjSRou-V-oQLi2-oSDd.aYkf5Cfzj9ITsWdz\">Tune into the full workshop<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College applications season can be a stressful time for students.
