Conclusion: The Definitive College Essay Course
The college essay process is a unique opportunity to reveal important aspects of yourself that aren’t evident in other aspects of your college application. As a result of the Definitive College Essay Course, it is my hope that you have learned something new that you feel more confident about the writing process.
Here are a few major takeaways, which I hope you’ll leave with:
1. Pick a topic that is meaningful to you, not just what you think college admissions officers will want to hear.
2. The best college essays are those with a strong sense of student voice. The reader should walk away feeling as if they know you.
3. For supplemental essays, make sure you answer the prompt.
4. Proofread, proofread, proofread.
5. Enjoy yourself! The transition from high school to college is an exciting time of life, and you have a lot to share with the world. Be gentle with yourself and have fun with the writing process.
