3. Written essays

Essays are a key staple of the college application process, with competitive programs sometimes requiring several supplemental essays. This is an opportunity for you to share what makes you unique, what your life experiences have been, and what you have to offer their program. Admissions officers want genuine voices and narratives that reflect your personality and aspirations.
