1. Early Start
• The more time you waste to avoid writing college
essays, the more stress you will encounter.
• Stress is not a good friend because it can result in
poor decisions.
• Your writing talent can be fully revealed only with
necessary amount of time.

2. Be Yourself
• This is particularly important in case of personal
essays. Many students often write about topics they
think would be interesting to others.
•This is understandable but they should not forget to
make their essays truly personal.

Be Yourself
• Think of something that really interests you and
then tailor your idea to your audience.
• Writing about something unrelated to the writer is
one of the biggest mistakes by students which has
been recognized by admission officers across the
country.

3. Be Honest
• Do not turn to others for topics for your story. If
something told by your friend captured your
attention, it does not have to be your topic.
• Do not think to place yourself in the narrative,
either.

4. Take a Risk
• On the other hand, taking some risk might
contribute to your success.
• However, do not let your imagination run wild. This
risk should be justified. For example, you can think
of alternative topic for your college essay.

Take a Risk
• Here’s how it’s done: you ask your peers about
topics they going to write about and avoid using the
same in your writing.
•Admission officers read tens of essays on the same
topic every day.

achievements in college essay.

other things are described on one or two pages.

• Seems too much, right? Such essays are not more
than a to-buy list. They won’t make any impression in
admission committee.
• So what you have to do is focus on the topic you
selected and stick with it.

• Do not expect that your first draft would a
masterpiece. It won’t be.

ideas related to the topic in your first draft and select
the best information.

Rewriting
• Do not be afraid to take challenge: write slightly
longer text and then exclude secondary content. Or
just write an idea and then add your thoughts to build
a strong argument.
•So do not be discouraged if you have to rewrite you
draft more than once.

• You won’t be surprised if you hear than even
bestselling writers let others to read their books
before publishing. You should do the same.

content, be smart and ask somebody to read and give
a feedback.
