Whether a student stands at the top of their class, struggles with their current material, or has a differentiated learning profile, Fathom will cater and pace instruction to maximize interest, engagement and learning. The application essay presents a student the opportunity to convince the reader of their most compelling character traits. A student can use their essay to prove drive, curiousity, leadership, compassion or any other traits that define their character. The key is to tell an anecdotal story rich with vivid imagery and personal voice so that the reader experiences how the student thinks and experiences the world. When you place the reader in your own mind, you’re not telling them what’s great about you— you’re showing them.
