HOW TO WRITE GREAT ESSAYS
CHAPTER 6
Untimed Essay Writing Strategies

schools have spoken out about what makes a great essay that it
is relatively easy to under-
stand what readers are looking for. The most important thing to remember is that,
regardless
of the topic, college admissions essays must be personal. The goal of the essay is
not simply to show
off your writing skills, but to tell the admissions committee something
about you that will make them choose you. You are selling yourself. In order to do that best,
you must begin by getting the applications you intend to submit either by mail or online.
Read
through the directions, noting submission deadlines, lengths, and topics. Begin think-
ing about what you could say about yourself that would convince
an admissions officer that
you are right for that school.
