Starting in 2019, the popular Higher Applications Essay/Application Bootcamp evolved into the new CCPrep Essay/Application Course and Program. Our 2021 program is an exciting way for students to get a head start on their college applications. The small group, hands-on course teaches students about the nuances of the college application process and provides them insights into what colleges are looking for in an essay. Participants in our Program also receive individual essay assistance through Essay Consultations. All students receive assistance in selecting their college essay topics & benefit from personalized guidance while they write! All of our in-person Essay/Application Courses this year will be taught by CCPrep’s Owner Robert, and will include 1-on-1 breakout discussions with our College Counselors Jayne or Shan.
As of 2020, CCPrep has been excited to be able to offer the following 3 versions of our Essay/Application services
