Best of Week: The College Application Essay

In class we read over Students College application essays. They were each different and unique to the person. Some were amazing and others were decent. One student used his comedian side to express himself, while another student was more personal and used a serious tone.

Mr. Allen explained the difference between sending essays out to hundreds of colleges verses sending to a fewer schools that you are really interested in. Colleges want to know that you are really interested into just them. Also that you’re not just using them as a plan b, in case you don’t get into another college.

College is very important to many students, including myself. Many colleges require an essay, and depending on your essay will help decide if you will be accepted. I learned that when I right my essay I should use my voice, otherwise it can sound fake or boring. Not only did I learn how to write a good essay, this will help me determine my future college.
