Hi everyone, I'm a junior and I've started thinking about my college essays. I'm struggling to come up with a good topic and I want to make sure my essays stand out. What should I focus on when writing my essays? Any advice on brainstorming or picking a topic would be amazing!
Hi there! It's great that you're thinking about your college essays early. When it comes to choosing a topic, focus on something that is unique to you and showcases your personality, interests, and experiences. Think about significant events, challenges you've faced, or people who have influenced your life. Your essay should give the admissions officers a glimpse into who you are beyond your grades and test scores. To brainstorm, try making a list of potential topics and see which ones resonate with you the most. You could also ask friends or family members for their input on what they think would make a standout essay. Remember, the most important thing is to be genuine and let your personal voice shine through. Good luck with your essays, and I hope this helps you get started on finding the perfect topic!
