Author Talk: Eric Tipler

During Eric Tipler's visit, he will tell us about his book, Write Yourself In: The Definitive Guide to Writing Successful College Application Essays, which was published earlier this year by Simon Element, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. It is a groundbreaking, expert new guide to college admissions that reveals exactly how to write successful personal essays for college and scholarship applications: find your perfect topic, avoid pitfalls, stay sane using Eric’s exclusive framework.

At this event, he will discuss:

• What's changed since today's parents were kids
• Basics on how the admissions process works and what admissions officers at selective colleges look for
• An overview of the essays, how they're used, and avoiding common mistakes
• Writing ethically and effectively in the age of AI

With college admission rates at an all-time low, parents and teens often think the answer is applying to upwards of twenty schools and can easily spend an anxiety-filled year struggling with college applications, especially the essays. It doesn’t have to be this way!

Eric demystifies the application process while providing an insider perspective on what admissions officers actually look for. Eric’s step-by-step plan helps families focus on the important factors within their control, lower their stress levels, and find a school where their teen will flourish.
