The essay
What else do they know? |
Up to this point in your college application ALL an admissions representatives knows about you is information about your grades, your address, your test scores, your gender, your birth date and a random list of extracurricular activities.
My dear, you are so much more and NOW is the time to show them! |
You are an amazing bundle of personality, purpose, passion and vision, SHOW THEM.
Your essay is the perfect opportunity to give them a glimpse into who you are. Be honest, open and vulnerable. Tell them something they would never see in the rest of your application. Struggling to think of what makes you unique? Ask your parents or guardian. Oftentimes they see more of us than we do. |
Make It Personal. |
