COLLEGE ESSAY GUIDANCE - STORY STRATEGIES
Your college application essay is your chance to stand out and to make a lasting impression on admissions officers. But how do you turn your experiences, aspirations, and dreams into a piece of writing that captivates and convinces?
Short answer: STORY
Crafting a memorable essay isn't just about presenting facts; it's about creating an emotional connection with your readers. The best essays use storytelling techniques to engage, entertain, and persuade. They incorporate all the most important aspects of narrative, such as a strong hook, a catalyst, conflict, rising action, showing-not-telling, well-placed dialogue, and a satisfying personal arc.
With these tools under your belt, your essay will make a bored college admissions officer--who reads hundreds of essays a day--sit up and take note!
