Conferences with Ashley
If you signed up for Thursday, you will conference with me today.  Bring with you the most recent copy of your essay (it can just be pulled up on your computer), and any focusing questions you have for me.

Revise, Refine, Write!
When you're not conferencing with me, you should be revising, refining, and making your essay as amazing as possible.  Remember to rely on your peers for help here!  You have lots of eyes--use them.

If you are feeling dialed on one essay, move onto a supplement or a scholarship essay!
