In order to pick the perfect essay topic, here are five simple questions you should review BEFORE beginning to write the main college essay.
Will this put me in the best possible light?
If yes, continue to question #2
Is there some natural adversity built into this topic?
If yes, continue to question #3 as the essay shouldn’t present a perfect story.
Can anyone else in my community, or possibly in the world, write about this topic? If the answer is no, go directly to question #4
If I look back on this essay ten or twenty years from now, will it still reflect who I am?
If yes, continue to question #5.
Is this something that is well-known about me that could come up in any part of my application?
If no, you’ve got your topic!
If you answer “no” to any of the first four questions and/or “yes” to the last question, go back to the drawing board!
