Write out anecdotes about yourself. Write individual ones of different themes. Look up past college app essays and write your response. Writing is Rewriting. If the college(s) you want to apply to uses the CommonApp, you should go check that out right now. In fact, I just did, and found something incredibly helpful for all you incoming seniors! The CommonApp has already announced the new essay topics for this upcoming school year! To look through them, go to https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/CA4.aspx and click "Essays topics announced."
If you have multiple colleges you plan on applying to, I suggest you begin a College Status Report. Here's mine from my senior year. That's all for this post. If you want additional advice, to ask any questions, or to take a look at my own essays, leave a comment below, and I'll respond as soon as possible. You can also leave a college you plan on applying to, and, if I applied to the same school, I'll reply with my essay and if I got in or not.
