College Essay Accelerator Curriculum
Day 1
Understand what makes an awesome personal statement and what colleges are looking for. Use frameworks like spiky points of view and mundane miracles to brainstorm essay topics that showcase the unique traits you'll bring to a college campus. You'll end the day by sending up to 5 essay outlines for review.
Day 2
Our college counselors will provide feedback on each essay outline and help you identify the best topic for you to write. Next, you'll learn about writing techniques that will help you share personal stories, make unique observations, and use playful language - to come up with a piece that only you can write.
Day 3
After a week of writing, it's time to learn how to self-edit. We'll teach you how to identify what makes a bad essay, how to give and receive feedback in your writing, and work with digital tools such as AI apps to improve your existing draft.
Plus... 3 Optional Workshops Included for FREE
1. Writing Gym
Session for students to write together, and an opportunity for Q&A with the experts.

What students say about us
Wow, never would I have imagined that I’d be writing an entire college essay in one week! After completing the College Essay Accelerator, I not only gained a polished Common App essay but also a newfound confidence in my writing abilities.
Vicky Yu
High School Senior
I spent countless hours going back and forth on what to write about and coming up with various drafts. Turns out, just the right pointers in the right areas on how to express a story well and in the right way makes the biggest difference in an essay. What would have taken me many more hours to get to, Prequel's College Essay Accelerator helped me do in one hour. It helped me get into my dream school UC Berkeley!
Rose Jiang
UC Berkeley Data Science
The writing skills I learned not only helped me get into Cornell for Computer Engineering, but also an internship right out of freshman year in the post-pandemic down market. I learned skills that go far beyond writing a college essay.
