ACTS Speaker Series 2020
BUILDING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND
How to tell your authentic and full story in your college application
HAMADA ZAHAWI
With 100,000s of applicants to college each year, high test scores and grades alone are not enough! In fact, one of the most important parts of the admissions process that can help distinguish one student from the rest of the applicant pool is their unique story. However, telling an authentic and effective story requires strong personal branding and the ability to develop life experiences that can help the student become a stand-out applicant.
Through the course of the workshop, Hamada Zahawi, an attorney and entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of college admissions consulting company WriteTrack Admissions, will be working with students on how to “Build their story” through key learnings in how to develop important life experiences (academic, social, extracurricular, volunteer), forming a unique narrative (personal brand), and applying the story in a highly creative and memorable college application. Through Hamada’s 10+ years of experience helping 1,000+ applicants, he will leverage his proprietary methodologies to help applicants greatly increase their chance of admissions into their dream school.
