Here are five simple guidelines for choosing your college application essay topic that will get those acceptances rolling in!
-
Be sure that the topic reflects who you are as a person, beyond your GPA or other high school achievements.
-
You are not being asked to cure world hunger or solve the climate crisis. Keep the topics manageable and small.
-
If possible, try to provide a narrative, a story of some sort, that will carry the reader through your essay.
-
Make sure that what you have written fully answers the prompt.
-
Focus more on your feelings and reactions to events, rather than the events themselves.
