Answer 1

Your best bet is writing one, but revising it accordingly for each school..sorta, personalizing them.

Answer 2

Mostly schools have same criteria for college essays, but it doesn't mean you have to go blind folded. Before submitting any essay, ensure to check mark all the requirements of the schools' protocols. You can use one essay for multiple schools if they don't have any specific rules,

While some schools ask for more special element in an essay for them, you need to make an extra and find essay writing help in this case.

A lot of the schools I applied to used the Common App, which was great because I could use exactly the same main essay. Most of them, though, required supplements (often in the form of essays about why you wanted to go to that particular school). Most of the schools that didn't use the Common App either asked for a writing sample about anything, or asked an essay question that was so similar to my Common App essay that I could tweak it just a little and make it work. So I ended up with about 4 slightly different versions of one essay, and about 4 supplemental essays. You'll probably end up having to do the same thing.



If you can do it over the summer, write one fantastic essay on a general topic like a person that's influenced your life or the accomplishment you're most proud of. If you can, find the specific questions for the schools you're looking at, but chances are you'll be able to use an essay like that for most of them. You can send that exact essay to multiple Common App schools, and you should be able to tweak it for other ones (I also use parts of my Common App essay for scholarships and even class assignments, so it's a pretty useful thing to have senior year!). The more prestigeous the schools you're applying to, though, the more likely it is they'll require supplemental essays.



You won't have to write 20 essays, but they add up. And they get really draining after awhile. I'm a good student and a hard worker, but I ended up spending 5 hours one day trying to write the first two paragraphs of a scholarship essay just because I was so burned out writing them. It gets really, really exhausting. I applied to 10 schools, and I can't recommend highly enough that you apply to fewer than that. Spend this summer narrowing down your options - visit schools, talk to friends in college, look at guidebooks, read college and college search webpages - and figure out the schools it's most likely you'll go to. Choose a "reach" school or two, a few that you really love and should be able to get into, and one or two "safties" that you know you'll be able to get into and would be happy with. Your applications will be better and you'll feel so much better if you don't get burned out.

Answer 5

Hi,

On the college admission, I would do several things:

1) I would really focus on the attributes(like value,experience,your academic & personal assets,your desire to help other & move foward in life...) and make that my "bread & butter" of all the essays. As for Ivy.Lea. schools yes mention that it would be an honor to attend that particular college but dont get overwhemed or spend too much time on that cuz you want to believe,think and write as ANY college would be lucky to have you.

2) I would then have that essay as my template which is saved and then simply tweek it for each essay to explain why: you would be a great fit for that school and your reasons for wanting to attend there.

3) In your writing & if you have to interview keep your focus on: being your self & demonstating confidence & humility.

4) Have realistic expectations when writing your essay. It may take a while and force you to think a lot. Mine took me a long time because I believe this it is YOUR chance to show them all you "bring to table".

5) Talk to successful people,read up on books & online on successful ways to write an essay such as this.



As for your other question, I am unsure what you meant? If you explain a little more I can probally help you.

Best wishes with your college essay and truly enjoy your college experiece!!! It is like your senior year in high shool a very special time if you let it be.I attended college for many years & earned advanced degrees but do to circumstances I didnt attend full time until age 29(although I enjoyed & absorbed every second of it & maybe even had a greater appreciation due to my age.) so I missed out on the experince of being 18 & going off to college.

Most important as mentioned above "Just be yourself,so you can relax & enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please grade my answer whether you like it or not.

Answer 6

You'll have to write a couple of essays, most likely, but it really varies. Before, you had to write one essay for each college you applied to. However, the new General Application is now used and accepted at most colleges, meaning you just have to write one and send it to each place you are applying. The general application's topics include writing about an event that changed your life, a person you admire, an activity which you feel passionate about or a topic of your choice.



For community colleges, usually only the general essay is required. For private schools, you will probably have to write a second essay. For example, the Ivy League has a supplementary application in addition to the general application. It is much shorter but it asks you questions more specific to the school in particular. You are usually asked to write a second essay about another topic, relating to the school and what you would bring to it's community.



The general rule: Expect to write one general essay (the longest and most important one) to be sent to all schools, but be prepared to write a second one for each application to a more selective college.

Answer 7

Most schools will want the same thing -- so you should have one well crafted essay that you can tailor to each school.



Some schools will ask for more short essays -- and you will have to create something special for them.



What you need to know is that your essays are critical. They are what will make you stand out.



Make sure that you write your own essay -- but you may want to do a Google or Yahoo search for "college admissions essays" to get some hints and to see what colleges want.

Answer 8

Alot of schools take the Common App. Schools that take the common app you will only have to write one essay, but these schools will sometimes have supplement. Sometimes schools in their spplement will ask you to write another essay, but there normal short like 1 to 2 paragraphs. For schools that don't take the Common App, you might be writing several different essays. However sometimes the question that they ask you to write on are very similar, so you can just alter essays a little. I did this all last year, i applied to about 9 schools, it's possible but it can get confusing so keep everything organized and keep track of dead line, that was my biggest problem.

Answer 9

you should write as many as you can so u can have a better chance of getting into ur fav college u shoulndnt make copies of them. cause thats like cheating and thats not good



hope this works

Answer 10

Many colleges and universities ask you to write an admission essay that addresses a specific topic. Some do, and some don't. You won't know until you start filling out your online admissions form, or until you get that admissions packet in the mail.



Another reason you won't want to fire up a generic essay is because the schools differ on length and formatting. You don't want to have a 500 word double-spaced paper in your hand when you're looking at an application that asks you for a 300-word single spaced.



If you're curious about the essay topics of schools you're interested in, take a look at the online application materials from the admission department website.



Honestly? I don't think there's much to be gained by writing your essays early. On the other hand, you should request application materials as soon as they become available - once you have the actual topic and instructions in hand, the sooner you start on them, and the more tweaking you can do, the better.



Good luck!
