Just Write: College Applications

Thinking Organized’s College Application Process program was built to support our students as they navigate the challenging process from managing deadlines, keeping track of the colleges they visited and writing the Common Application essay. Our approach is designed specifically for students that struggle with ADHD and executive function weaknesses. We understand the challenges these students face and work on strategies to help them navigate this important process. 

Students will meet with their tutor for a total of 8 sessions. The program cost is $1,000.

Every session is built around the following:

  • Look at what the student has already completed in their college search, if anything
  • Design effective material and time organization strategies to meet the student’s needs during the lengthy process of applying to college, including a priority list.
  • Review and discuss samples of the Common App essay to help the student brainstorm ideas for essay topics.
  •  Choose a prompt for the Common App essay and work on pre-writing strategies. 
  • Create a short outline and begin the writing process.
  • Develop a schedule for the completion of the essay and the writing supplement, if they are not done.
