If you're looking for a killer essay-writing strategy....try this one:
(I used it when I was applying, and it helped a TON.)
***Don't start at the beginning.***
Here's what makes this a kickass strategy:
* You can write random ideas as they come to you.
* You can work on connecting and editing them later.
* You can use any style that works for you - bullet points, an outline, even just a word or two.
You can apply this to your own situation in many ways:
When you're sitting down to write your essays, take a few minutes to think about any random story or detail you think might work well for your essay.
This can include experiences:
* in your classes
* in college extracurriculars
* in activities outside of school
* at home
* with friends
Whatever they are, just get them all down on paper.
It'll be a lot easier to inspire yourself to write the best essay possible once you've written something down.
Nice, huh? :)
