College Essay Tips
Here are some key ingredients to any college or grad school application essay:
- No matter what the subject, the essay must reveal your characteristics and qualities. Write about what makes you specifically stand out. For example, describe an event that happened at your school or in your life during which many other people were present, but from which you gained a unique perspective or takeaway.
- The qualities and accomplishments you showcase in your essay should, if possible, be tailored to the college to which you are applying. If you are applying to art school, it’s wise to discuss your background and experience with art and aesthetics. The same is true for business, engineering, journalism, etc.
- Look toward the future. Colleges understand you are a high school student, so while you should certainly highlight your past accomplishments, you should outline your goals for the future and what you intend to accomplish at their institution.
- Answer the question. What distinguishes your answer from other answers?
- Of course, pay close attention to spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Poor editing will tarnish your otherwise impeccable essay.
