WHY SHOULD I PAY ATTENTION TO MY ESSAY? 03 #TakeOnYourFuture #itsALLintheprep
ALL-in Eduspace University Preparation Guide Book
An admission essay is sometimes the only chance an admission officer or committee gets to hear directly from the student. It’s your way to make them remember you, since most of the time, they won’t meet a student before reading their application.
That is why your essay needs to have a powerful topic. In fact, sometimes students are often identified by the topic they wrote. For instance, the admissions officer may not remember your name, but will remember you as “farm girl” or “rollercoaster boy”. Make sure that your topic is interesting enough for them to remember!
Admissions officers are speed-readers. If you don’t grab their attention right from the start and keep them interested, they won’t read the essay thoroughly.04

NOTICETHINGSIMPORTANTTO
Most applications will have very open-ended essay prompts. This allows you to write about almost anything.
BEST TIME TO WRITE It’s better to start writing your essay as soon as possible, making a lot of drafts and leaving plenty of time to edit. The summer between junior and senior year of high school is the best time to write the main college essay.

ESSAY PROMPTS
Don’t forget to emphasize what makes you special and fit that to one of the prompts. Prompts for the Common Application and Coalition Application are usually updated every year or two. If you write an essay for one of these prompts, you can usually adapt it or shorten it for other popular applications like the University of California system’s required essays.
The best essays are about things that aren’t represented in the application. Tell the admissions officers something new. They want to know the person behind the application rather than a recap of things already mentioned in the application. Focus on new content when it comes to the main college essay.

You should have at least 5 to 10 possible essay topics before you start writing. If you’re still looking for a way to find your possible topics, start with thinking and write down about following things: After that, let it sit. Take time to consider which topic is the best-fit for you. Think twice and carefully before sharing it to your friends, counselors or mentors. The best essay topic is a topic when you yourself feel happy and enjoy writing it.
THEN, ARE THERE ANY TOPICS THAT I SHOULD AVOID? Academic interests Most selective colleges will also require at least one supplemental essay related to what you want to study. So save your academic interests topic for that essay and focus on a personal topic that holds dear to you. Family trips Talking about family trips sometimes suggests a privilege. Extracurricular activities and community service Your extracurricular activities will already be showcased in the activities section of the application. Most colleges also require supplemental essays on a student's most meaningful extracurricular activity. 09 #TakeOnYourFuture #itsALLintheprep
Negative experiences Write your essay in a positive light with a happy ending. If you are bitter about something, the admission officer would immediately pick up. Love life Talking about love life sometimes doesn’t have any correlation with your achievement or skill improvement. Illegal actions This is obviously off limits, too. No admissions officer would like to accept students who have illegal experiences to their university. Pre-high school achievements The application should be focused on who you are NOW, not who you are in the past. 10 ALL-in Eduspace University Preparation Guide Book
