How to Impress Examiners with Your Application Essay
Submitting a compelling application essay can feel overwhelming, especially when facing a blank page with a deadline looming. The process demands deep self-reflection, which can be both challenging and rewarding. Here's how to craft an essay that stands out and impresses examiners.
Define Your Topic
Begin by identifying a main idea or theme that resonates with you. It's crucial to select a topic that holds personal significance. Admissions committees are looking for individuals who can contribute uniquely to their institution. Your essay should reflect your unique experiences and personality.
Personal and Professional Aspects
A strong essay effectively balances both the professional and personal sides of your character. Use your acquired knowledge and experiences to build a persuasive argument. Even if your experiences seem ordinary, present them in a fresh, engaging way. Reflect on how your background has shaped your development and how you can contribute to the academic environment.
Crafting the Introduction
Capture the reader’s attention with a compelling introduction?"whether through a story, quote, question, or vivid scene.
Developing Your Argument
In the body of your essay, expand your perspective using well-supported arguments. Avoid standard answers and focus on sincerity, which is highly valued. Stick to your main point throughout to make the most of your essay’s limited length.
Use of Examples
Illustrate your points with specific examples. If you're writing about character traits, show how you've applied them in real situations. This approach brings your essay to life, making it engaging rather than overly theoretical.
Be Yourself
Avoid filling your essay with others' opinions. Examiners want to see a reflection of your unique personality, not someone else’s.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
While it's natural to make errors, try to minimize them by avoiding:
- Topics that are hard to substantiate
- Autobiographies
- Overdone humor
- Overuse of complex vocabulary
- General statements
- Sole reliance on spellcheck
- Statements that aren't true
Writing Style Tips
Avoid repetition, general descriptions without analysis, and careless fact interpretation. End your essay with a conclusion that circles back to your introduction and supports your main thesis.
Final Touches
Once your essay is complete, take the time to review it for spelling, grammar, punctuation, style, and logical structure. It's helpful to have someone else read it and provide feedback.
