Colleges want to know who the applicants are and what value they bring to the college. Your essay is the key to answering these questions. Your essay is your opportunity to be self-reflective and present your personal story. An applicant should showcase their personality, interests, goals and achievements. College admissions officers use all the data, as well as a well-written essay, to evaluate which students are the best fit for their institution. The college application essay can make the difference in whether you are accepted, waitlisted/deferred or rejected. The essay is uniquely about you.
Consider including some of this personal information in your essay:
- What life experiences have impacted who you are?
- What guided your decision to select the course of study you have chosen?
- Share an obstacle or major accomplishment that has built your character.
- Describe what has influenced your decision to apply to a particular college?
- Where do you see yourself 5 or 10 years from now?
- How will attending college help you on your chosen career path?
