13 Tips to Write a College Admission Essay<\/h1>\n<\/p>\n

Here are 13 tips for writing college essays to help you get admitted! These insider tips will help give you the competitive edge you need to write a stellar essay!<\/p>\n

Remember that your college admissions essay isn’t any ordinary paper, it’s a story. Be mindful of readability and construct your essay to maintain interest throughout the entire essay. Think of the classic methods of storytelling: your essay should have an intro, a body, a climax, and a clear conclusion without needing to explain over.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, every good story has a message. For example, in the classic story of Cinderella, the main takeaway is that kindness (demonstrated through Cinderella’s actions) will be rewarded while selfishness (demonstrated through the evil stepmother and siblings) will not. <\/p>\n

Trying to act like an intellectual know-it-all is exhausting and a huge turn-off for college admissions. You need to be unique to get noticed. Write like you are a strong-minded individual. Use beautiful, descriptive language mixed with your typical casual language. Then, put emotion into your words to make your essay come alive!<\/p>\n

10. Don’t Be Repetitive <\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Your admissions essay is the place to express yourself, not repeat the points of your resume that the admissions committee has already seen. Instead of repeating yourself, go deeper. <\/p>\n

Consider what makes you a great candidate beyond your grades. Are you a leader? Are you passionate about the school? Whatever it is, show it!<\/p>\n

11. Use Proper Formatting<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

When it comes to how to format your essay<\/strong>, readability is key. Use a reasonable font, one that is easily legible and professional-looking. Instead of cramming your main ideas in the first paragraph, balance your essay points. <\/p>\n

Use soothing margins and declare the essay prompt and your answer in the introduction. Be consistent with spacing, indentation, and excellent spelling and punctuation. Also, be sure to follow citation rules<\/strong> as per the essay requirements (MLA, Chicago style, APA, etc.)<\/p>\n

12. Edit. Then Edit Again<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s important to edit your essay repeatedly. You can also have a friend, parent, or teacher help you before submitting your final version. Small grammar or spelling mistakes can be the difference between acceptance into a highly competitive program, so fire up the spell check!<\/p>\n

13. Take Advantage of Resources<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Though developing a strong college essay can be a long and tedious process, you don’t have to go through it alone. There is a wide range of online admission resources that you can access through various universities and nonprofit organizations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
