Aside from the interview, the college application essay is the only component that adds character and personality to the college application. Many students are surprised to learn that perfect SAT scores and 4.0 GPA's do not necessarily equal admission to top schools like Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. So, how do you write the perfect college application essay? That's actually a harder question to answer than it is to ask. The college essay that speaks to admissions committee is one that drips with emotion, not one that merely satisfies its reader.
