• Preparing your college admissions essay can be
  quite stressful. Between school and work you
  hardly even have time to sleep. With a number of
  qualified and potential candidates submitting
  applications, this small essay can often make a
  lot of difference between admission to the school
  to which you always wanted to attend and living
  in your parents basement. But there is no need
  to be scared. With proper planning and
  consideration, you can easily draft a well
  prepared college admissions essay.

Do not write an autobiography

• Ensure your essay has a strong theme and thesis.
  The college will likely provide a specific topic
  on which to write, though sometimes they let you
  choose a topic. But either way you need to ensure
  that your scope is narrow and personal. Also,
  remember that you will have to write within a
  word limit, often around 500 words. You can pick
  a story or event from your own life upon which to
  concentrate. Do not simply write resume or a list
  of your accomplishments. This information is
  available elsewhere in your application package.

4
Show your personality

• Try to view your essay for college admission as
  an opportunity to highlight your unique
  personality. Letting your personality and
  passions shine through will strengthen your
  essay.
• Ensure a strong opening
• Make sure to have a good opening for your essay.
  Consider starting your essay with a good quote,
  question, anecdote, etc.

5
Your essay should make the admission officer smile

• You should not be scared of adding some humour to
  the essay, but not in excess. The admission
  officer should see that you take the task
  seriously.
• Every word should count
• An essay intended for a college application
  package should have a limited word count and thus
  make the most of each and every word. Word limits
  are included, in part, to see how much you can
  say in the allotted space. Concision is king.
  Use fewer words whenever possible. For example,
  instead of X of Y, use Ys X.

6
Try to avoid clichés

• Clichés often signal an attempt to cover up poor
  content quality.
• Just show, do not tell
• Be specific. Do not just state your aim. You
  should also describe how your experiences have
  shaped your perspective.
• Proofreading
• Proofreading your admissions essay is very
  important. You cannot just prepare one draft of
  your essay and think that it is ready. You should
  begin by preparing a draft. Quality is not
  important at this time. Once the draft is
  complete, its time for the proofreading your
  admissions essay stage.

7
Edit

• Once you are satisfied with your essay, the next
  step should be to edit it. You can ask admissions
  essay editors for help. Often times, writers are
  not able to find mistakes in their own writing.
  Thus, availing admissions essay editors will help
  you produce a clean, crisp essay.
