Answer 1

We just got back from a college tour, and one of the admissions officers had great advice about writing the essay.  She said to make sure that your answer really tells about you and who you are... e.g. if you answer the question "Who is a person who has had a big influence on you," not to spend the whole essay describing that person, but to talk about how you are different because of them, etc.

Personally I'd be real careful about reading other people's essays.  I suspect that admissions officers get VERY GOOD at recognizing when an essay is original, genuine, and unique.  Might be better to try to draft a few essays first, then look at examples to get a sense of how to improve your own.

Answer 3

Underlying all essay questions is choice. The essay question may be direct and ask you to choose something about yourself to discuss, or it may be indirect and require you to write about something such as an event, book, or quotation.

Answer 4

Make a list of why you want to go to college.  

-What do you see yourself doing after college

-What are your goals (i.e. you want to go to grad school after to become a ______)

-What does this specific college offer you to achieve those goals (XYZ College offers classes in _____, ______, and ______ which I find to be both interesting and a necessary foundation for this major)

-Start off by saying something catching "Of all the characters that I've "met" through books and movies, two stand out as people that I most want to emulate. They are Attacus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird and Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham from Field of Dreams. They appeal to me because they embody what I strive to be. They are influential people in small towns who have a direct positive effect on those around them. I, too, plan to live in a small town after graduating from college, and that positive effect is something I must give in order to be satisfied with my life. "
