The best advice for college admission essays is to start early! If you have a junior, you may want to have them write a college admission essay now, for practice. You can use it “as-is” next year, edit it heavily, or just use the practice to make writing a new one easier. You can find college admission essay topics on the website of most colleges. Google the name of the college, and click on admission. You should be able to locate something that says “Apply Now” which will lead you to the application essay.
When you’re thinking about college admission essays, remember these tips:
- *Go Deep*. Don’t list as many projects and accomplishments as possible. It’s confusing, boring, and doesn’t explain the read person. Choose one thing, and focus on that.
- *Be Different*. Don’t be a cookie cutter kid. Try to be unusual, so that you stand out from the crowd.
- *Talk Normal*. Try to sound like “you” and not somebody else. Don’t use big words, out-of date or complicated phrases that you don’t normally use.
- *Be Authentic*. Don’t worry about being funny, focus on being yourself. Trust me – humor rarely works in a college admission essay.
