Susan Wolf coaches college and graduate school applicants through the process of writing unforgettable, killer essays. This is an invaluable skill that will help you succeed throughout your academic and professional life. Susan's Philosophy...

You don’t have to write a flawless Pulitzer Prize-Winning Essay but you do need to reveal something about yourself that an admissions officer won’t find in impersonal numbers and scores on your transcript. Think of the personal essay as a chance to step back for a moment, look within yourself, and then share your take on something that has touched you emotionally, outraged you morally or struck you as unexpectedly funny. One unforgettable essay came from a student who claimed he had nothing to write about. When asked why, he replied that he lived in Los Angeles and didn’t have a car. This non-topic became the basis of a witty tirade about the car culture in Los Angeles compared to New York, his former home, where everybody walked or could take the subway. This student never considered one of his greatest peeves a suitable essay topic until he wrote about it during a brainstorming session. Not only did this student get into his first choice college, but he was asked by the admissions committee to use his essay as an example of one that was both entertaining and socially-conscious.

Here's a tip for all future graduate school applicants: Personally enlist your references and give each one a short bio of your activities, accomplishments, and anything relevant they need to know. Include a reference form if the grad school supplies one, with a stamped, addressed envelope for each college or university to which your reference is writing to. Always follow up with a written thank you note!

Here's a tip: Read your personal statement aloud. At this point, you have become too familiar with the words in your personal statement. When you read it aloud, you will be able to hear the essay in a more objective way. Pay attention to it’s rhythm, tone, and style. Read it aloud to others, notice their reactions and jot down their comments.
