Did you know that your college admission essay is really important because every year the top universities and colleges accept only 10% of their highly qualified applicants.
I knew it was tough but getting accepted into the college or university that you want can be really scary.
So why is your college admission essay so important?
1) It's the one way to set you apart from the rest. Colleges and universities receive thousands of applications each year so you want to make your essay is as memorable and striking as possible. This is where you can highlight your accomplishments, experiences, and true potential.
2) This is where you can distinguish yourself from the thousands of other applicants with similar scores and backgrounds.
3) The sole goal of your college admission essay is to increase your chances of acceptance by making you stand out from the crowd.
4) You should have a clear theme, an engaging opening and a conclusion that ties up the essay. After reading your essay, the reader should feel that you are some-one worth knowing and would like to meet.
5) Be genuine, talk of your past achievements and your goals for the future.
How many times have you written an essay then later found glaring errors in grammar and spelling, you haven’t got your point across and it resembles an unorganized jumble of unrelated sentences.
What happened? You didn't mean to take the reader on a wild goose chase. When you were writing, you were excited and happy letting the words just "flow." Everything seemed so perfect until you read it.
During your study at college, many eyes will evaluate your essay, many heads will be thinking about its content. And your aim is not to disappoint them, not to hand in just another ordinary essay.
