The College Admission Essay

  • How Important is the Essay?

    Extremely.

    The essay’s importance has grown, especially since many colleges are now test optional.

    The admission committee would like to meet you over lunch; however, instead of a sandwich and a face-to-face chat, you only have your essay.

    Your essay is not a final check-the-box assignment.

    It shows the committee that not only are you qualified, but that you fit well with their school.

  • What Should I Write About?

    Write passionately about what matters to you.

    Many students overlook engaging topics. They write what they think sounds important, failing to convey meaningful insight about themselves.

    Whether your topic is quirky or serious, your essay’s key message must reveal either:

    • Who you have become

      or

    • What you have learned about the world
