Attending college is ome of the greatest investments

College opens a host of opportunities that shape our view of the world.The friends made in college are lifelong and are irreplaceable.due to increased completion in the job market employers are demanding that job applicants be at least university degree holders.This has made college education to be much sought after.As a result the number of applicants to colleges has increased significantly over the past few years and so has competition for the limited college places.In the united states for instance application to the ivy league universities such as Harvard and Yale is extremely competitive such that only ten percent of applicans are accepted each year.
When applying to universities there are a number of tools which are used to gauge the abilities ofm an applicant.some of the requirements are SAT tets,recommendation letters and high school academic transcripts.Another tool to gauge applicants which is increasingly gaining prominence is the college admission essays.
Guidelines to writing an effective college admission essay.
College admission essays are used by the admissions committee to gauge the personality of an applicant.An applicant can use college admission essays to convince the admission committee members that he/she is indeed outstanding as compared to the other applicants.the admission committee will look for traits that will add value to their universities and help to improve the university’s ranking in the world.
1.Use correct grammar.
Nothing is more disturbing than an admission essay written in poor grammatical language.Use of improper grmatical language will indicate that you have a poor mastery of the English language and that you will have problems using English as a medium of communication.The essay should obey all the laws of grammar such as correct spelling,logical flow of ideas and absence of syntax errors.
2.Be original.
The admissions committee will likely go through thousandas of college admission essays and your essay will only be given an eyeball of reading.try to be as original and creative as possible so as to catch the attention of the admission team.A standard or generic essay will not give you an edge over the others.you could for example talk about lessons learnt while sitting by the fire at night with your grandmother or why your curiosity in science was enhanced as you climbed a hill further and further.
