Eliot Sloan, Essay Specialist on our college planning team, is currently developing an anthology of essays by family members of white-collar criminals. Her own memoir was featured in The New York Times "What We're Reading" section this week!
Eliot's powerful essay is a great example of how impactful personal stories can be for the reader. This is particularly important for students to remember as they develop their college essays.
