Hi All! My name is Bill & I’m working behind the scenes tonight to help our experts- if you have questions that come up please use the chatting or Q&A features to ask questions. I may be able to answer them here, and if they are good discussion questions we will ask them of our experts when it’s time to jump in with those! Ask at any time and don’t be shy!

might go to umass boston college because my sister goes there and she likes it and she was telling me about it

Anthony that’s great! family is very important in crafting plans and creating that list that Sharon is talking about now!

Anthony we also have UMass Boston with us tonight! You should visit the admissions representative (his name is Miguel) to ask him questions about UMass Boston

remember if you have questions you can drop them here or in the Q&A feature and we’ll be happy to answer them or get them up as discussion points for Sharon & Tanner!

ok

Hi Brandy, because these essays do tend to be specific to the school or a topic specific to you- the most effective resources are going to be those specific to you! your guidance counselor might be able to review the topic with you and brainstorm bullet points about the topic, english teachers can often help review your essay for flow and grammar. Many teachers even turn that into an assignment in early senior year! If you’re getting an early jump on this don’t be afraid to reach out to them. This is important to do early this year as I’m sure hybrid and remote teachers need to scheudle time and a virtual room for you to meet & chat in.

keep those questions coming! Q&A feature will allow everybody to see your question- and if you’re nervous it does have a anonymous submission feature! If you have a question others do too!
