Hey everyone! I'm starting my college applications, and I've decided to use the Coalition App. Does anyone know where I can find the essay prompts for the 2023-2024 cycle? Any advice on how to approach them?
Hello! You can find the Coalition Application essay prompts for the 2023-2024 cycle on the official Coalition for College website. Here's the link: https://www.coalitionforcollegeaccess.org/essays
As for advice on approaching the essay prompts, consider the following tips:
1. Choose a prompt that resonates with you and allows you to share a unique or personal aspect of your life and personality.
2. Spend some time brainstorming and outlining before starting to write. This will help you organize your thoughts and ensure your essay has a strong narrative.
3. Focus on storytelling. Paint a vivid picture for the reader by including specific details and examples, rather than just summarizing events.
4. Show, don't tell. Demonstrate your qualities, growth, and experiences through your actions and reactions rather than simply stating them.
5. Pay attention to voice and tone. Your essay should reflect your personality and writing style.
6. Edit and revise multiple times, and ask for feedback from teachers, counselors, or peers. A polished essay will help your application stand out.
Remember, your essay should provide a glimpse into who you are beyond your academic achievements and extracurriculars. Share what you've learned from your experiences and how they have shaped you as a person. Good luck with your essay and your college applications!
