Many students apply
yearly to get a chance to colleges. Admissions committees don’t
have all the time to interview all these students instead, there
application forms are supposed to do the interview on their behalf.
But among all the essays that are submitted only the best college essay is
chosen and few applicants are chosen to join the respective colleges.
This is because the test scores and grades are never enough to gauge
the qualities of a good student; more so many applicants have
attained almost the same grades and scores.
For a student’s
essay to be chosen among the best, a lot of work is needed right from
choosing the right topic to formulating ideas that will make the
reader feel satisfied with the student even before seeing them. The
essay should set the student apart from the rest. That is the student
should put more than just effort to his/her work. One should have it
in mind that the admissions officers have to go through an
unbelievable number of essays. Most students write about topics that
they don’t even care about making their essays be long gotten rid
of. Descriptive skills are very important when it comes to writing
these essays.
One should not just
recount on the life changing event they are describing, they should
be able to reflect. A good college essay should be simple and easy
to understand. One should keep in mind that these admissions officers
are only looking at the unique qualities that a student has. Students
should try their best to keep the essay their own. The aim of the
college in giving these essays is to get a fast hand impression of
the kind of people they are going to admit into their institutions.
