College Essay Conclave: Decoding What Universities Really Want

THE TOC COLLEGE ESSAY CONCLAVE

Decoding essays. Discovering voices.

Every year, counsellors help students navigate what is perhaps the most personal and most over-analysed part of their university applications: the essay.

But what really makes one stand out? And how can we help students write with honesty, not performance?

Join us at The College Essay Conclave, a virtual gathering designed for counsellors who want to go beyond checklists and templates. Together, we’ll explore the essay from both perspectives, those who read them and those who guide them.

Hear from global university representatives on how they interpret authenticity, coherence, and voice and then move into practical frameworks on essay formats across the UK, Canada, and India with real samples and storytelling exercises you can use right away.
