17 PROMPTS TO
COVER IN USF AND
UVA ESSAYS
The University of Virginia (UVA) is a
world-known research university
located in Charlottesville, Virginia. It
has 121 majors across 8
undergraduate and 3 professional
schools with 22,391 students
studying here from 148 countries.
In the National Universities ranking,
UVA has got the 24 place.
The University of South Florida is a public research university with 48,373
students studying here. Its location - Tampa, Florida. USF is the 4th largest
university in Florida with 14 colleges, 80 undergraduate majors, and even
more graduate programs. It belongs to the top research universities in the
USA. No wonder why a competition among applicant for USF as well as
UVA is so tense.
An application essay is a great chance for you to stand out from other
candidates. It is usually approximately 500 words long but it can take days
or even the whole week to write a decent and powerful UVA essay. The
main problem is how to make it outstanding. Here are 17 tips which will
definitely help you out.
#1. Read the requirements thoroughly
Not following essay instruction will demonstrate the admission
you won’t be able to follow the university’s program at all. Word limit
a number of pages are indicated for a reason so follow all rules and
up with a good USF admissions essay.
#2. Organization is a key aspect
Don’t want to rewrite your written piece? Then, make a detailed plan
indicating your main points and develop them. It will save you from
and headaches because a sign of a successful USF essay is a great
organization.
#3. Stick to a plan
Divide your essay into 3 parts, define what points all of them
will consist and follow it. Creativity is important but even a
creative writing is well-organized.
#4. Brainstorm your ideas
Come up with engaging ideas and
estimate how long paragraphs
should be in order to finish USF
application essay and still follow the
word limit. Then, make a schedule
when you’re going to write an
introduction, body, conclusions, edit
and proofread your written piece.
#5. Begin with a catchy introduction
You need to catch the admission’s attention so start with an anecdote or
an engaging story that demonstrate your personality and strengths.
the admission who you are and why you’re the one who deserves a
in the program.
#6. Stay focused
Don’t include all possible information to your essay. You won’t be able to
cover everything simply because you’re limited in words and pages. So,
concentrate on the main point and develop it.
#7. Demonstrate instead of just telling
Reading your UVA supplement essay, the admission committee will get
know better your personality. Overused phrases like “a great leader”,
“hard-working”, “enthusiastic” won’t tell anything new to the admission
provide everything you state with strong examples.
#8. Watch out vocabulary
Overusing advanced vocabulary is never a good idea. Don’t try to
too smart. A plain and clear language is exactly what you need. Look for
examples how a particular word is used in a sentence and ask yourself
whether this word fit in yours.
#9. Make your language simple
UVA essays with a complex language and too many complicated words
and even scientific terms always seem pompous and make the
laugh. So, be careful and make everything clear and simple.
#10. Be succinct
Make your points concise and easy to understand. In such a way, you
show the committee you’re able to express your thoughts clearly and
respect their time.
#11. Be original
Don’t put phrases or words which hundreds of other applicants have
in their essays. Show your original and extraordinary way of thinking.
#12. Show how determined you
are
Express your determination to
study on this particular program.
Show you have knowledge of
course you’re applying for so
your choice is absolutely
conscious.
#13. Set your goal
Tell the reader what is your future goals and have you can achieve them
with help of the chosen program. Ensure your University of Virginia
supplement essay describes your relevant skills, strengths, and
#14. Get rid of clichés
If you want to distinguish yourself, stay original and eliminate all clichés from
your essay. The admission committee has already looked through thousands of
similar writings so let them see how unique you are.
#15. Back up each statement with bright examples
Don’t state a fact from your life, but provide it with concrete details and
examples.
#16. Use qualified help
Before you submit your USF admission essay, ask somebody else to
it for you. It can be a friend who has got an application experience or a
tutor who's aware of all requirements. While writing, we tend to commit
mistakes and then, don’t notice them. So, having someone else to
proofread is a great opportunity to improve essay quality.
#17. Don’t ask too many people to revise your written piece
People have different opinions so their feedbacks can easily confuse you. If you
follow each reviewer’s advice, the quality of your University of Virginia essay will
be too poor. Pick up max 3 people with the expertise in writing such papers.
