specific requirements differ between each college<\/strong>. Below we’ll outline how a college admissions essay should typically be structured.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Titles<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
College admissions essays usually do not require a title. Some students, however, choose to include a title because it’s the first thing the admissions committee will read, and it’s another chance to capture interest, demonstrate personality, and reframe their essay as a whole. <\/p>\n
A title is purely optional. If you choose to incorporate a title, here are some tips<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n- Make sure your title is evocative<\/strong>, something that could be humorous, a play on words, or retell a moment of your life. Ensuring your title is interesting can be an effective way to draw in your reader and make them excited to read your essay. <\/li>\n
- Avoid using vague language<\/strong> in your title to keep the reader engaged. If you can’t think of a gripping title, consider submitting your essay without one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Number of Paragraphs<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Unless otherwise noted from the college application requirements, the number of paragraphs is up to you. <\/p>\n
Some essays can be four paragraphs, while others use eight. <\/p>\n
However, your essay, like every other one you have written (and will write in college), will require an introduction and a conclusion. It must adhere to the word limit, which will be discussed below.<\/p>\n
Essay Templates<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all template <\/strong>that you can follow when writing your college admission essay. You are allowed, however, to use basic structures when writing your essay that can work for any prompt. <\/p>\nYou should also pay attention to any college application essay formatting guidelines your school provides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
