A crucial part of the undergraduate or bachelor’s degree applications for US universities is the personal statement and essays.
An essay allows a student Undergraduate to show the admission committee what makes them a unique person and to stand out from other applicants. Both the content of the essay and the way it is written allows the admission officers to understand the student’s writing abilities and his personality.
If a student is applying through the Commonapp, they have to write a Commonapp essay on one of the eight themes provided in the application. In addition, they may have to write university-specific essays based on the requirements of the university they have chosen for their application. The university-specific essay prompts are listed on the university website or the application portal. A few universities may also ask for supplementary essays that are optional.
While writing essays, a student should choose a topic that they are passionate about and something where they can share a story or personal experience from their life. They should be able to showcase their strengths in the essay, explaining each idea effectively and precisely with enough supporting evidence.
To write an essay, students should first brainstorm on the ideas they would like to put down on the chosen topic. After that, they may come up with an outline (key points around which the contents may be organised). A general outline of any essay would include an introduction, the main body, and conclusion. The thoughts or ideas should form the introduction to the conclusion with clear transitions. Once a draft has been prepared, student should revise the content. After a few revisions of the content, the final step is to proofread the essay to eliminate grammatical or typographical errors and fine tune the language, cutting down on extra words. Students should also get their essay reviewed by an advisor, teacher, friend, or family member.
Students should be mindful of the word limit, and should make sure that what they have written in the essay is interesting, stands out, and illustrates a vivid issue, story, or experience.
