  • Personal statements
  • Diversity statements
  • Character and fitness addenda
  • Extenuating circumstances addenda
  • “Why school X?” essays
  • Résumés
  • Letters of recommendation

I’ll will take questions at the end.

    I screwed up and wrote a personnel statement. What a waste of time.

    Can any of us join or does participation require a paid subscription?

    Hey @hmccabe1214 assuming there's enough space (we're capped at 100), anyone interested is welcome and encouraged to join. If we have to prioritize for space, then priority goes to paid members. I'm guessing we're not going to hit 100 so I think you're fine!

    You can be a paid member just by picking up David's Admissions Starter program for $30 here:

    @J.Thomas I'm going to turn the webinars into videos that will live in the Admissions Starter package, but don't fret‚ this won't be the last free webinar!

    So if we can't make it and aren't currently a paid member, we won't be able to see video afterward?

    Folks, as always, listen to the wise words J.Y. Ping. The R.O.I. for that $30 is incredible. I paid that amount long ago when it was just an "Intro. to Personal Statement" add-on, not all of the other admissions advice you now get. And even then, it was a steal.

    David's advice on writing is tremendously clear, insightful, and pragmatic. If you attend the webinar tonight, I'm sure you'll come away impressed with what he has to say. And if that's true, then I highly encourage you to make that small but valuable investment. You won't be sorry. :-)

    Ah, I'm a dumb-dumb. So, if I purchase this Admissions starter package, I can watch it at anytime at my convenience?

    No no, not dumb at all!

    Once David makes it into a video, it'll be available through the Admissions Starter course and you'll be able to watch it whenever for as long as you have access to it. :)

    That's good to hear; I have a solid personal essay, but it does need work. Especially now that I got my score back....
