Highlight Your Innovative Skills

As it is getting tougher every year to get the admission to a college, students should prepare themselves for the admission process, well in advance. This will involve, among other things, the preparation for presenting college admission essays along with their applications to the colleges, short-listed by them.

However, as writing an excellent essay is very important for getting the desired admission, students must concentrate to devote some time on deciding the topic and the structure of this essay. Therefore, some of the guidelines given below will help the students to prepare well-organized essay, for this purpose.


• Churn your mental thought process

This is a part of the exercise to choose a topic for the essay. It is necessary that students select a topic that can highlight their imaginative and innovative skills, while describing other talents. Therefore, students must think of their major accomplishments, any characteristics that make them unique and different from others. The brainstorming exercise for writing such essay should include thinking about any personal traits that can help the society, any major achievements in extra-curricular activities, and the strong points of the students’ overall personality that they want to highlight in their college admission essays.

Since it is difficult to find answers to some of the above questions by students themselves, therefore they must consult their parents, friends and tutors to know how these outsiders see their personal traits.


• Topic selection

Students must choose a topic, which can synthesize the above given characteristics with their desire to attend a certain institution, while making the essay coherent with their strong deserving attributes. However, if the topic selection gets limited to the list of topics given in the essay assignment, then students should choose a topic that is familiar to them, as they can write on such topics with more confidence.

However, if the topic selection is left entirely to the students, they can think, of any vivid past experience, their firm opinion on any of the controversial social issues. For example, a real experience narration, followed by the student’s personal opinion on terminally ill patients and controversial issue of “right to die” can tell about writing skills of the student.

The topic for college admission essays should be neither too common nor much narrow, as students would required certain evidential support from other sources also for presenting their viewpoint.


• Totally avoid plagiarism

Students must try to show, what they have. There is no need to borrow ideas, for getting better grades. Selectors are experienced to detect such blunders. In any case, never cut and paste any text from the other sources, into your essay. Instead, it is better to get help from any reputed essay-writing company.


• Essay Structure

Once all above elements are ready, the final drafting of your essay will be very easy. However, all such essays should have a good, but brief introduction, which lures the reader to read whole paper. Essay body should follow this, which would have a well-organized text to substantiate your viewpoint and answer to topic question. Needless to mention, please re-check your college admission essays for any grammatical or spelling error. Conclude the essay with a summary of your viewpoint.
