A brilliant college entrance essay will present a vivid, personal and compelling view of yourself to the admissions committee. It will round out the rest of your application and help you stand out from other applicants. The essay is one of the only parts of your application which lets you have complete control and so it’s important to take your time to ensure you make a great impression.

Keep your focus personal. Your essay must prove a single point, which shows you are worthy of a place at your college of choice. The reader must be able to see what you are arguing for and follow it from the beginning through to the end. Let a friend or family member read your introduction to see what they think about the topic which you have written. If they don’t know, then try rethinking how you’ve worded your essay. Remember, you are not telling the committee your life story, you are simply showing them who you are, and using past experiences and achievements to help them choose you as a candidate.
