Depending on where you are in the process, you can sign up for the whole series or any individual workshop. By mid-November--in time for most Early Action deadlines--you will have a persuasive essay that reflects who you are and what you have to offer. Not to mention that you will learn about yourself, hone your writing voice and have fun!
