Here's a hint for the day:
When applying to colleges, it's a good idea to establish a separate e-mail address exclusively for this purpose. The address should be simple (your name, if possible) and should not call attention to itself.
Think about it -- before meeting you, are adults going to be more impressed with Ashtonkucher@somethingorother.com, or 70sshowhottie@somethingorother.com?
Separating this e-mail address from your others will help you to remember to project the "you" that you would like colleges to see.
Gmail, hotmail, and yahoo all offer free addresses, or perhaps your e-mail server offers extra e-mail addresses that are not currently in use by your family.

Welcome!
Thanks for visiting the new site for Upstate Essay and Tutoring!
Here's your chance to get a good start on your application process, whether you're applying for college, graduate school, or a professional position.
For college applicants, I've included a link to the Common Application to your right. I'd advise taking a look at the essay topics early to get an idea of what you should be thinking about as you begin your process. Even if the college of your choice does not accept the Common App, many application questions are similar to the ones asked here. While you're at it, go ahead and register. This will save you time later!
Consider:
Would you like to work with someone through the drafting and revision process?
Would it benefit you to bounce ideas off a tutor who has a master's degree in writing, as well as classroom experience teaching high school and undergraduate writers?
I look forward to helping you present the best picture of yourself to the committee that will be reading your application.
Please continue to watch this website for updates and helpful hints, and feel free to contact me with questions and scheduling requests at ginna.purrington(at)gmail.com.
