College entrance essays are critical to the overall college admissions process. Most colleges will require an essay as part of their application. I know that this can sometimes be an intimidating process for high school students. In this post, I’ll be giving you some pointers on how to write the best college essay of all time!
Point #1 – The essay is your chance to display your personality to the admissions committee, so it should be personalized. This is your time to tell the admissions committee something else great about you that either they didn’t ask in the other parts of the application or something that you think just deserves a little bit more attention. Don't be afraid to "toot your own horn".
Point #2 – There is no “correct” answer, so stop trying to make the essay questions so complicated. The point of college entrance essays are to get you to think about your life experiences thus far. The admissions officers want to learn more about you as an individual and how you’ve developed into the person you are today.
Point #3 – They’re paying attention to your writing style. The college admissions committee is using your essay as a demonstration of your writing ability. It's essentially a writing sample. Being able to write a solid essay is critical to your success in college. Be sure to check your grammar and punctuation. In fact, you should proofread your essay several times before you submit it and have others read it too!
