Four Texas guides for $47 (through Nov 15)
|
Hi Reader, If your senior is applying to Texas A&M or UT-Austin, Dec. 1 is about three weeks away. Both applications close that day. (With Baylor, you've got a little more time, until Feb. 1. Phew!) So I bundled my Texas guides:
That's $111 worth for $47. Cracking the UT Austin Supplemental Essays is brand new this fall. ResuMEH to ResumYAY is in there because UT's expanded resume is due Dec. 10, with the rest of the supplemental materials. Want me to look at the resume, too? At checkout, you can add a Comprehensive Resume Review for $95 (normally $125). I'm only taking five. The $47 price ends Sunday, Nov. 15, at 11:59 pm Central. After that, the bundle goes up to $79. 👉 Get the Texas bundle​ Julia P.S. Buying for a junior? All three schools could change their essay prompts for the Class of 2028, but I'll update these guides with any changes that happen next year and notify you if/when that happens. P.P.S.

Hi, Reader! How many supplemental essay Google Docs are open in your browser right now? And how many of them did you swear you’d finish in October? If that question made you wince, you’re in good company. Most of the seniors I’m talking to this week are somewhere between “almost done” (hooray!) and “please don’t ask” (we got this!). The good news is you still have four weeks until Dec. 1, and that’s plenty of time if you plan it out. (If you’d rather work through it with someone, a Power Hour...
Hi, Reader! If UT is on your list, your supplemental materials are due tomorrow, Oct. 22. So if your resume is still sitting in a Google Doc called "resume FINAL final v3," today's the day to finalize and submit it. And if you've already sent everything in? Go do something that doesn't involve a screen. You've earned it. Now, on to what I really wanted to tell you about this week. Got an application question? Send it my way, and I'll answer it for free. You Ask. I'll Answered. (On the...
Hi, Reader! It's Oct. 15, which means a lot of you are in the home stretch of a deadline day. If you've already hit submit, congratulations! If you're still working, take a breath. (Do it with me now. In. Out. In. Out. We've got this.) And if today wasn't a deadline for you: Keep at it. Your deadlines are likely not far away. Today, I want to bust a few myths so you stop wasting energy on them. Write about what matters to you and what you want admissions to know about you, not what you think...
