This article will focus on writing the essay for the common app. Just a quick reminder, you pick one out of the five topics provided by Common App with word count between 250 to 650 words. Before you start writing, there is something to keep in mind.
- Write about what’s NOT on your application already.
- Read the prompts carefully to identify all the components you need to answer.
- Make you spend majority of your writing on the component that tells the most of “you”
- Stay within the word limit and make sure to have someone proofread your essay.
