What I hear all the time
-
But you can write a killer essay and I can show you how.
-
Yes, you do. As far as we’re aware, nobody else wrote about you, and definitely not through your perspective influenced by the life you’ve lived.
-
Truly competitive applicants have put time and effort into the entire application. They understand how to concisely explain their message.
Last year, Stanford received 60,000 applications (most with high GPAs). They admitted 2,000. I would bet anything every admit wrote a killer essay.
-
Yes, it is.
Any story can be interesting, powerful, and moving. Strong essays clearly communicate their message, display a student's strengths, and allow the applicant to reflect on their growth.
Hundreds of essays will discuss playing soccer. Only a few will use the sport as a vehicle to share information about their life.
