Essays

Essays should give admissions officers at colleges insight into you as a person. The more insight, the better. The deeper insight, the better. They carefully read these essays to evaluate whether you would fit into their next freshman class as a student and as a member of the campus community.

You are a multifaceted person with certain strong personality traits and interests. Which ones do you want to write about? How will you bring them out to the admissions readers in a compelling way? How can you convince them that you are a good fit for their school?
