College Essay Workshop

For rising seniors and high school juniors too: Avoid stress in the fall by getting a head start on writing the essay for your college applications this summer. Come to Bernardsville Public Library on Thursday, April 24 at 7:00 pm when expert Randy Levin will help you spring into action and avoid the top five mistakes students make on their college application essays. Parents are also invited.  

Essays are now more important than ever. Mr. Levin will help listeners set themselves apart from all other applicants and avoid wasting valuable time writing the wrong essays. Whether applying to local colleges, state schools or the Ivy League, this presentation will provide solid guidance to listeners on how to stand out and write great essays unique to them. Mr. Levin's clients have been accepted to many prestigious colleges including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, M.I.T., Columbia, Georgetown, U of Chicago, Duke, Brown, NYU, Northwestern, U Penn, Dartmouth, Swarthmore, and Amherst.

Randy Levin has a Master's in English and an MFA in Creative Writing. A former English teacher, he has also developed curricula for expository and creative writing (including persuasive writing). He has worked at the New York State Department of Labor teaching resume writing and interview techniques, and, for close to thirty years, he has been a stand-up comedian performing at Westbury Music Fair, Mohegan Sun, comedy clubs, corporations, and on cruise ships.  

There is no charge to attend the program at the library, but advance sign-up is required.  Sign up at www.bernardsvilllelibrary.org or call the library at 908-766-0118. The same workshop is also being offered at Bernards Township Library on Wednesday, April 16 at 7:00 pm.
