With hundreds of thousands of applications receiving each year by colleges, and universities you may not get a chance to face a personal interview to present yourself as a complete package. But, you have a good chance to present yourself through your admission essay. Your college admission essay is the best way to your top choice school. Use this chance to highlight your true potential, and experience. It is your personal tool which allows you to distinguish yourself from the hundreds of thousands of other applicants with similar score and background.
A poorly executed essay may be resulted in rejection from the school administration. On the other hand, well written exceptional essay can help students with marginal scores get into the schools of their dreams.
The most engaging and compelling essay tells a story and have a clear focus. Writing should reveal student's passions and expose their personality. A clear narration of a difficult time in your past life tells far more about you than a list of competitions won and honors achieved. When you finish reading them, you will feel a tiny bit likes you met someone, maybe even someone you would like to meet again.
Just give a touch of humor to your essay. While it’s important to be thoughtful and mature, you do not want your college application essay to be too heavy. Try to lighten up the essay with a well-placed witticism, a clever metaphor, or a little self-deprecating humor. The essay that is filled with bad puns or off-color jokes will often end in the rejection pile. Overall tone of your essay is also very important. Take much care to balance your pride in your achievements with humility towards others.
