By clearly understanding the essay prompt, you\u2019re on the path to a standout essay submission!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although most college essay topics offer room for creativity, you can\u2019t forget to actually address the essay prompt.<\/p>\n<p>As an admissions counselor, I read hundreds of essays attempting to cover every extracurricular activity or accomplishment in a student\u2019s life. I get it, it\u2019s tempting to try and squeeze your entire life story into a single admissions essay. However, the challenge at hand is to present a\u00a0<u>select<\/u>\u00a0number of ideas skillfully rather than offering an overwhelming narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Try to write about a single subject that reveals many of your top qualities. For example, you can elaborate on one activity, project or experience. By offering details and clearly articulating the importance of your subject, you can define who you are as a student.<\/p>\n<p>If you play soccer, write about how the sport challenged you and gave you skills to use on the field and in the classroom. While this is not your only activity, it can highlight your strengths while keeping your essay concise. If you want to highlight all of your accomplishments, include them in a well-written resume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get creative\u2026the best college admissions essays have a voice!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A creative voice can also help your college admissions essay stand out. You can define your creative angle by using humor, unexpected stories or analogies in your writing. I\u2019ve seen students write essays in the form of plays. One student even wrote her essay similar to the open scene of \u201cAmelie.\u201d If you\u2019d rather stick to a more traditional writing style, try taking a new approach to the prompt.\u00a0 Even something simple like \u201cwhy do you want to attend UST?\u201d can be full of inspiration if you\u2019re willing to look for it.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than focusing on the obvious answer \u201cI want to come because I love this school,\u201d try something that stands out more: \u201cI want to challenge myself by taking theology and philosophy classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give your essay a mission statement!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use the essay to communicate a message that your application can\u2019t. The essay is an opportunity to distinguish yourself from other applicants by using clear examples, not merely repeating what\u2019s already on your application. Your writing should answer these questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What else should I know about you?<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0What are you known for?<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0How can you define who you are?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re a senior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stthom.edu\/Admissions\/Undergraduate-Admissions\/How-to-Apply\/Index.aqf?Aquifer_Source_URL=%2FApply&amp;PNF_Check=1\">applying for college<\/a>, we know you\u2019ve been involved in high school activities but what did these experiences lead to? We want to understand how they shaped you as an individual.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already, start working on a mission statement. This is your thesis statement, your brand and the difference between being the student who wants to go to school at UST, and being the student who will be successful at UST.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proofread! Avoid Typos in You\u2019re Admissions Essay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(<em>Yes, we made that grammatical mistake on purpose!<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>When we write, we can easily overlook mistakes that are visible to others. Find a second reader to review your essay and provide feedback. Lean on individuals who are familiar with essay writing and the college admissions process\u00a0as well as people you can depend on for honest feedback about your ideas and grammar.<\/p>\n<p>You can also show your college admissions essay to people who know you well, such as family members or teachers. Ask them to confirm if the admissions essay is a clear reflection of who you are. And ask them to identify any mistakes. All writers need a second set of eyes (or more, like this blog which had three editors). It\u2019s not a sign of bad writing, but a common practice that starts now and will follow you through your college career.<\/p>\n<p>In the application process, I often hear \u201cI am ready to apply; I am just waiting on my essay.\u201d Don\u2019t let this task hold back your application. The best place to start is by reading through these steps and writing something, anything, down on paper. This process is called \u201cfreewriting;\u201d don\u2019t stop until you\u2019ve written for 15 minutes straight.\u00a0 Now, get up, get something to drink and check your phone before you sit back down. Then repeat these steps again!\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget to reach out to your admissions counselors for questions; we\u2019re here to help guide you through the process.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stthom.edu\/About\/Contact-Us\/Index.aqf\">contact us<\/a> today and <a href=\"https:\/\/stthom.radiusbycampusmgmt.com\/ssc\/iform\/C6700pG0S86G0x6702875n.ssc?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=direct&amp;utm_term=footerlink&amp;utm_content=4yeardegree&amp;utm_campaign=schedulevisit&amp;_ga=2.146260593.494858122.1500559370-1781135016.1500469673\">schedule a visit<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing a college admissions essay shouldn\u2019t be viewed as an obstacle to acceptance at the university of your choice.
