There are many variables within the college application paradigm. Students are taught to strive towards achieving high grades, top SAT, and ACT scores. Additionally, students are encouraged to participate in extra-curriculum activities, especially those that indicate public awareness and service. It is true; these factions are monumentally important. However, the college application essay is vital.

 

The Importance of a Good College Essay

 

Colleges and universities receive thousands of submissions every year. Educational institutions review materials from students, all of whom have similar grades, SAT and ACT scores. Additionally, several students may have outside activities that have the same scope and importance.

 

The college essay is an integral component of the final decision about a student’s acceptance into undergraduate and graduate programs. This document is the individual’s chance to make an impression; to show career aspirations, personal and professional experiences, educational goals, and some indication that the school’s curriculum would be beneficial to the student’s professional plans.

The college essay is monumentally critical; analyzed with considerable diligence. It should be grammatically correct, and the substance astutely articulated. It should present the student as a thoughtful, analytical person with a thirst for knowledge. Acceptance is the ultimate goal for every student.
