Write and Edit Your College Essays

You need to finalize your college essays. Remember that the essay is an important part of the application review. A good essay can become the decision factor that gets you accepted. So do a great job.

The college admission also requires 1-2 recommendations from teachers and/or community leaders.

Give the person writing your recommendation plenty of time (about 3-4 weeks prior to your deadline).

Also provide them a short autobiography, a list of your outside activities, school transcript and a self-addressed envelope as instructed by your college. Please note that the teacher works with hundreds of students. So give them plenty of time.
