How to Write a Winning Essay in Middle School: Insights from a Journalist

What makes one essay win while another gets overlooked?

It's not luck—it's knowing what judges notice in the first 30 seconds, how to make your ideas stand out, and when to stop editing and submit.

As a former application reviewer for UCLA's most prestigious scholarship program, Vincent has evaluated hundreds of essays—and knows exactly what separates winners from the rest. Whether you're entering a competition or improving your writing, these are the techniques that work. You'll discover:

01

The top qualities judges look for in every winning essay—and why most students miss them entirely (even when they think they're following the rules and doing everything right).

02

How to write your first draft in under an hour—a proven process that works even when you're completely stuck, uninspired, or convinced you have nothing to write about.

03

Real examples from competition winners—see side-by-side comparisons showing exactly what turns an average essay into one that judges remember and want to read twice.

04

Complete roadmap for the Harvard Crimson Competition—choosing your category, writing your essay, and submitting by February 10th (deadline is 6 days after this webinar, perfect timing!).
