A college application essay is your opportunity to showcase your personality, interests, goals and achievements. College admissions officers are looking for good writing skills, authenticity and uniqueness. During this process, admissions officers want to read an essay that reflects a student’s genuine voice. Students should share their personal story to showcase their passions and motivations for applying to this particular college. In your essay, it is important to show how you are a good fit, how you will be an asset to the institution, and what you will gain from attending.
As you begin to develop your essay, think about what you want to share and how you want to present your information. Consider how you will introduce yourself so that the reader has an accurate picture of who you are, what has impacted your decision to apply to this college and what you want to accomplish as a student during your years attending.
Before beginning your essay, review this list of the key components that are essential to a well presented essay:
- Does your opening line draw the reader in and peak their interest?
- Does the essay skillfully and successfully introduce you?
- Have you presented an interesting and unique picture of yourself?
- Have you been authentic? Have you been true to your personality, character and life experiences?
- Is the essay well written with no grammatical, spelling or structural errors?
- Is the essay clear, organized and concise?
