Writing College Application Essays That Get Noticed

Episode Summary: Hi everyone, I'm Coach Donna Marie, your writing tutor. Today I'll share important information about college application essays. A common question from high school seniors is: What are college and scholarship committees looking for in essays? They want to understand who you are beyond grades and test scores, see your uniqueness, and evaluate how you'll contribute to their community. They look for self-awareness, critical thinking, and clear communication skills. Let me break this down, especially for people of color and young women who might discount their experiences. First tip: See yourself through the eyes of people who support you - coaches, teachers, mentors, family members who genuinely care. Learn to accept compliments gracefully. Second tip: Value your contributions, even seemingly mundane activities like babysitting. Ask trusted people for feedback about your strengths. Third tip: For self-reflection, try turning off all distractions - no social media, TV, or other inputs. Sit quietly with your thoughts. Keep a journal or recording device handy, even by your bed or in the bathroom. Great ideas can come at unexpected moments. Fourth tip: To improve your writing, read quality materials like historical biographies and professional journals. Good writing will influence your own writing quality.
