Before coming to The Telling Room, Nick read applications for UC Berkeley and ran a college prep organization. Each workshop will offer four hours of small-group instruction and individual revising support. Participants can finish the whole process (mostly) painlessly in this workshop and get a head start on their applications. Each session is limited to 12 students and will cost $300. Limited scholarships are available.
