OVERVIEW
A BRIEF 
DISCUSSION
Today we are going to share with you the most effective
tips on how to write a college essay more effectively.One
of the most common struggles students encounter is to
resist the desire to squeeze everything they have seen,
done, and heard in their essays. But your application
essay is not the story of your life in 650 words. Instead,
choose a moment and focus on telling the story behind it.
Admission officers realize that writing is not easy for
everyone, but with some time and planning, anyone can
write an application essay for the college that stands out.
One way to do this is to work step by step, ask by
piece.The end result should be a carefully crafted and
insightful essay that makes you proud. Take advantage
of being able to share something with an audience that
knows nothing about you and is excited to know what you
have to offer.
GET TO KNOW YOUR PROMPT
The most important part of your rehearsal preparation can be
simply to ensure that you really understand the test question
or prompt. When you’re done writing, make sure your essay
still complies with the prompt.College writing questions
usually suggest one or two major focus ideas or topics. This
can range from personal to trivial, but everyone seeks to
challenge you and awaken your creativity and perception.Read
the questions and/or instructions of the essay. Read them
again. Then read them one more time. Take the time to think
about what is being asked of and let it really sink before
letting ideas flow.Before you even start brainstorming, set
what you are trying to accomplish. Is this essay ready for you
to report? Defend? Support, support? Expand?If this doesn’t
happen yet, relate the question again to you, asking, “How
does this apply to me?” These pieces rarely show who you are
as a candidate.
BRAINSTORM
Believe it or not, the brainstorming stage may be more tedious
than writing the actual inscription essay. The goal is to detail
all your possible ideas so that when you start writing, know
and understand where you’re going with the topic.You have
years to devote yourself, so take the time to mentally collect
relevant experiences or events that serve as strong and
specific examples. It’s also time to reflect. “What are my
strengths?” “How would my friends describe me?” “What
differentiates me from other candidates?”Write down any and
all ideas. There is no technique that works better, but you will
be grateful when you can get back to ideas that you might
otherwise have forgotten.Limit the options. Choose three
concepts that you fit best into the college app writing prompt
and evaluate the potential of each one. What idea can you
develop even more and not lose the reader? What else
captures who you really are?
CREATE AN OUTLINE
Architects use a blue copy. A web page is made up of code.
Cooks rely on recipes. What do they have in common? They
have a plan. The rules for writing a good essay are no
different. After you make a brainstorm, you’ll know what you
want to say, but you should decide how you’re going to say it.
Create a sketch that divides the test into sections.All good
stories start, middle and end. Model your story so that it has
an introduction, body, and conclusion. After this natural
progression, your essay will be coherent and easy to read.
Strategy. How are you going to open your rehearsal? With a
joke? A question? Dialog? Use of humor?Try to identify what
tone your essay will be based on your ideas. Stick to your
writing and voice style. It is particularly important when you
write a piece about you that you write naturally. Put the
words in your own voice.
WRITE THE ESSAY
So far you know exactly what you’re going to write about and
how you want to tell the story. Then grab a computer and go
to it. Try to leave a draft without changing anything again.
Then go back and review, review, review. Before you know it,
you will have told the story you described – and reached the
required word count – and you will be happy to have spent all
this time preparing!Keep the focus of your essay restricted and
personal. Don’t lose your reader. Start with your main idea
and follow it from start to finish.Be specific. Avoid using
cliché, predictable or generic phrases, developing your main
idea with facts, events, quotes, examples, and vivid and
detailed reasons. Be yourself.Admission officers read many
application essays and know the difference between a
student’s original story and a recycled academic essay or,
even worse, an article written by his mother or father or even
plagiarized.
PROOFREAD
You’ve worked so hard to this point and while you may feel
relieved, remember: your essay is as good as your editing. A
single grammatical error or typo may indicate carelessness –
it is not a feature that you want to convey to an admission
officer in college. Leave your essay for a while (at least one or
two hours) before reviewing it.Addressing the essay with a new
perspective gives your mind a chance to focus on the real
words rather than seeing what you think you wrote. Do not
rely only on computer spell and grammatical checking.
Computers cannot detect the context in which you are using
the words, so check carefully.Do not abbreviate or use
acronyms or slang. They may be fine in a text message, but
not in their college essay. Ask the other person (or several!)
Let you read your essay, be it teacher, counselor, father or
trusted friend. You know what you meant, but is it clear to
someone reading your work?
TIE UP LOOSE ENDS
Writing a college essay requires time and effort, and you
should feel accomplished. When submitting your essay,
remember to include your name, contact information, and
identification number if your college has provided one,
especially if you send it to a general admission email
account.Nothing is worse than trying to combine an unnamed
application test (or, worse, an email address
like donutsarelife@domain.com) in a file. Save copies of what
you sent to which schools and when – and follow them! Make
sure that the college or university you are applying for
received your writing. You don’t want all this hard work to be
wasted!
DON’T SUMMARIZE
Avoid explicitly declaring the purpose of your essay. It’s much
less effective when you spell it out for someone. Delete all
items “That’s when I realized”, “I learned” and “The most
important lesson was …” It’s unnecessary, unconvincing and
takes the reader out of the moment. Instead, let them read
between the lines and interpret the meaning of their story on
their own.You don’t have to say anything like, “And that’s how
I learned to defend myself”, because the admissions officer
should already know. Often, when you watch a movie,
expression, sigh or closing an actor’s door speak louder than
words.Your actions may be small, but they must be loaded
with meaning, that is, you are positioning yourself, making a
decision, giving up something or taking a risk. It may simply be
deciding to wake up in the morning or smile. It just needs to
represent that you have made a decision, change or risk.

How to write a college essay

  • 1. CALL TUTORS EXPERTS TIPS ON HOW TO WRITE A COLLEGE ESSAY EFFECTIVELY Prepared by Call Tutors Team
  • 2. TODAY'S OUTLINE OUR MAIN POINTS Overview Get to know your prompt Brainstorm Create an outlineWrite the essay Proofread Tie up loose ends Don’t summarize Call Tutors
  • 3. OVERVIEW A BRIEF  DISCUSSION Today we are going to share with you the most effective tips on how to write a college essay more effectively.One of the most common struggles students encounter is to resist the desire to squeeze everything they have seen, done, and heard in their essays. But your application essay is not the story of your life in 650 words. Instead, choose a moment and focus on telling the story behind it. Admission officers realize that writing is not easy for everyone, but with some time and planning, anyone can write an application essay for the college that stands out. One way to do this is to work step by step, ask by piece.The end result should be a carefully crafted and insightful essay that makes you proud. Take advantage of being able to share something with an audience that knows nothing about you and is excited to know what you have to offer.
  • 4. GET TO KNOW YOUR PROMPT The most important part of your rehearsal preparation can be simply to ensure that you really understand the test question or prompt. When you’re done writing, make sure your essay still complies with the prompt.College writing questions usually suggest one or two major focus ideas or topics. This can range from personal to trivial, but everyone seeks to challenge you and awaken your creativity and perception.Read the questions and/or instructions of the essay. Read them again. Then read them one more time. Take the time to think about what is being asked of and let it really sink before letting ideas flow.Before you even start brainstorming, set what you are trying to accomplish. Is this essay ready for you to report? Defend? Support, support? Expand?If this doesn’t happen yet, relate the question again to you, asking, “How does this apply to me?” These pieces rarely show who you are as a candidate.
  • 5. BRAINSTORM Believe it or not, the brainstorming stage may be more tedious than writing the actual inscription essay. The goal is to detail all your possible ideas so that when you start writing, know and understand where you’re going with the topic.You have years to devote yourself, so take the time to mentally collect relevant experiences or events that serve as strong and specific examples. It’s also time to reflect. “What are my strengths?” “How would my friends describe me?” “What differentiates me from other candidates?”Write down any and all ideas. There is no technique that works better, but you will be grateful when you can get back to ideas that you might otherwise have forgotten.Limit the options. Choose three concepts that you fit best into the college app writing prompt and evaluate the potential of each one. What idea can you develop even more and not lose the reader? What else captures who you really are?
  • 6. CREATE AN OUTLINE Architects use a blue copy. A web page is made up of code. Cooks rely on recipes. What do they have in common? They have a plan. The rules for writing a good essay are no different. After you make a brainstorm, you’ll know what you want to say, but you should decide how you’re going to say it. Create a sketch that divides the test into sections.All good stories start, middle and end. Model your story so that it has an introduction, body, and conclusion. After this natural progression, your essay will be coherent and easy to read. Strategy. How are you going to open your rehearsal? With a joke? A question? Dialog? Use of humor?Try to identify what tone your essay will be based on your ideas. Stick to your writing and voice style. It is particularly important when you write a piece about you that you write naturally. Put the words in your own voice.
  • 7. WRITE THE ESSAY So far you know exactly what you’re going to write about and how you want to tell the story. Then grab a computer and go to it. Try to leave a draft without changing anything again. Then go back and review, review, review. Before you know it, you will have told the story you described – and reached the required word count – and you will be happy to have spent all this time preparing!Keep the focus of your essay restricted and personal. Don’t lose your reader. Start with your main idea and follow it from start to finish.Be specific. Avoid using cliché, predictable or generic phrases, developing your main idea with facts, events, quotes, examples, and vivid and detailed reasons. Be yourself.Admission officers read many application essays and know the difference between a student’s original story and a recycled academic essay or, even worse, an article written by his mother or father or even plagiarized.
  • 8. PROOFREAD You’ve worked so hard to this point and while you may feel relieved, remember: your essay is as good as your editing. A single grammatical error or typo may indicate carelessness – it is not a feature that you want to convey to an admission officer in college. Leave your essay for a while (at least one or two hours) before reviewing it.Addressing the essay with a new perspective gives your mind a chance to focus on the real words rather than seeing what you think you wrote. Do not rely only on computer spell and grammatical checking. Computers cannot detect the context in which you are using the words, so check carefully.Do not abbreviate or use acronyms or slang. They may be fine in a text message, but not in their college essay. Ask the other person (or several!) Let you read your essay, be it teacher, counselor, father or trusted friend. You know what you meant, but is it clear to someone reading your work?
  • 9. TIE UP LOOSE ENDS Writing a college essay requires time and effort, and you should feel accomplished. When submitting your essay, remember to include your name, contact information, and identification number if your college has provided one, especially if you send it to a general admission email account.Nothing is worse than trying to combine an unnamed application test (or, worse, an email address like donutsarelife@domain.com) in a file. Save copies of what you sent to which schools and when – and follow them! Make sure that the college or university you are applying for received your writing. You don’t want all this hard work to be wasted!
  • 10. DON’T SUMMARIZE Avoid explicitly declaring the purpose of your essay. It’s much less effective when you spell it out for someone. Delete all items “That’s when I realized”, “I learned” and “The most important lesson was …” It’s unnecessary, unconvincing and takes the reader out of the moment. Instead, let them read between the lines and interpret the meaning of their story on their own.You don’t have to say anything like, “And that’s how I learned to defend myself”, because the admissions officer should already know. Often, when you watch a movie, expression, sigh or closing an actor’s door speak louder than words.Your actions may be small, but they must be loaded with meaning, that is, you are positioning yourself, making a decision, giving up something or taking a risk. It may simply be deciding to wake up in the morning or smile. It just needs to represent that you have made a decision, change or risk.
