The college essay ranks in the top 5 most important factors in the admissions process.
This video, hear from experts from CalTech, Emerson College, and Emerson WRITES as they share insights and tips that will help students craft their own college admissions essays.
You know that you need good grades and test scores to get into your dream college, but your personal statement is your chance to get noticed. It’s your opportunity in the application process to highlight your personality, interests and tell colleges what makes you, you!
What is the Common Application?
The Common Application, or Common App, is a standard college application shared by over nine hundred universities. Part of this application is the College App Essay, sometimes referred to as a personal statement. With seven prompt options, the personal statement can seem intimidating, but don’t worry! These tips can help you get prepared.
How to Approach the Common App Essay
Read the prompts and choose three to focus on.
You don’t need to write on every essay topic; choose three that connect with your experiences. Then, take 15-20 minutes and free-write some ideas. Don’t organize your thoughts yet; see how much you can get down on the page.
Narrow your focus and begin crafting the essay.
Look at what you’ve written for each of the three prompts. Which one has the most information? Which one are you most excited to share? Choose your strongest topic and begin crafting your essay. It should have an introduction, body, and conclusion and fit into the 250-650 word requirement.
Don’t be afraid to get personal.
Remember, colleges want to get to know you! Make sure you share information about yourself and your unique experiences. In your writing, share details, dialogue, and memorable moments.
Review with someone.
When you feel like your essay is in a state that you’re comfortable sharing, choose a parent, teacher, or mentor to ask for feedback.
Remember, your personal statement is an opportunity to show college admissions officers who you are outside of your test scores and GPA. The best part is you get to write about the topic you know best – yourself!
