Before you begin writing, it&#8217;s essential to review the <strong data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"492\">Common App essay prompts<\/strong> to ensure your response aligns with what&#8217;s expected. Here is a complete guide on how to write a good essay\u2014so go through it thoroughly before you start.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The essays are of two types: the <\/span><b>University-specific Essay<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><b>Common Application Essay<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The University-specific Essays are generally for <\/span><b>a<\/b> <b>maximum of 500 words<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This focuses on the applicant. The basic prompt is why they want to get admission to that particular university. The Common App Essay, on the other hand, can be of <\/span><b>250 to 650 words<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It gives the admission counselor a refreshing glimpse into the applicant\u2019s personality and identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>For a Common App Essay, there are seven prompts.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You need to select any one prompt and write on it. <\/span><b>Here are some of the general tips you may follow while writing the prompts:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tip #1: Four basic questions that should be answered in any Common App Essay are:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>a) Who are you?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This emphasizes on your personality and not on your personal details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>b) Why are you here?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This focuses on your personal advancement all through high school. You can cover your achievements, social, or volunteer works, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>c) What is unique about you?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This is to describe how and why your way of thinking, personality, areas of interest, and skills make you unique.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>d) What matters to you?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This is just the concluding point. So, cover this in the conclusion paragraph. It is an indirect way of asking how you can be a boon to the university.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> Tip #2: Avoid clich\u00e9s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the essay. Clich\u00e9s make your essay less unique and more common. So, think something out of the box but avoid using phrases like \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">think out of the box<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> Tip #3: Write the first paragraph in such a way that it grabs the reader\u2019s attention.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can open the essay with a question whose answer the reader is willing to find out in the rest of the essay. It can be about your area of interest. Mentors at UniRely can help identify your strengths and help you write a successful essay.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> Tip #4: Be realistic and don\u2019t beat around the bush! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t try to make the essay 650 words long by adding irrelevant details. If it is short, let it be. Otherwise, it may end up being monotonous.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <b>Tip #5: <\/b>If you are writing about some bad experience, don\u2019t be whiny. <\/span><b>Tell them what you learned from that experience and how it helped you develop.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> Tip #6: Instead of answering the essay prompt the normal way, answer it from a different angle.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It means that either <\/span><b>add a little suspense or be an enigma yourself<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (well, not too much). For example, instead of directly saying that you want to study environmental studies, describe the environment a bit. Tell them how and why it is degrading, how you look towards it; subsequently leading to a statement that you want to opt for environmental studies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> Tip #7: Show the readers rather than telling them about your experience or how you feel!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, instead of writing, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018I always read novels to relax\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> write, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Every day when I feel stressed, I make a cup of coffee, grab my kindle and read a novel until I\u2019m relaxed!\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> Tip #8: Avoid being redundant<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and don\u2019t use a single word over and over again in the essay. Make your essay rich in vocabulary (well, don\u2019t use very hard or lengthy words). Avoid grammatical errors. It will not give a good impression to the admission counselor. So, <\/span><b>proofread your essay three times at least.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> Tip #9: Leave the admission counselor with a good lasting impression!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Try and keep yourself in his shoes. Do you think after reading hundreds of essays in a day you\u2019ll select anyone? No, right? Similarly, they\u2019ll go for the ones whose essay made a very good impression on them. So, go for something they\u2019ll remember by the end of the day!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Some things you should avoid:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> Don\u2019t write anything too personal!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> Don\u2019t be overconfident.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> Don\u2019t brag about anything, show excitement where required.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> Don\u2019t go off-topic to lengthen the essay.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Keep all these points in mind and you are good to go!<\/p>\n<p>When applying to the US universities, the essays in your application is of the utmost importance. <a href=\"https:\/\/app.unirely.com\/signup\"><strong>Sign up on UniRely<\/strong><\/a> and make your dreams of attending US universities a reality with<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/unirely.com\/\"> UniRely<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When applying to the US universities, the essay(s) in your application is of the utmost importance.
