“My tutor helped me dig deeper and tell the story I had in my mind but couldn’t quite put into words. I received a $30,000 scholarship for me essay! My essay was personal and unique.”
“In just one meeting we completely revamped my essay and I felt so much better about it. The building blocks were there. I’m so glad we used A Wave Above to help me put my thoughts together and convey my message properly. My interviewer mentioned my essay really touched him and is a big reason why I received the interview to my graduate program. PS-I got in!”
Ingredients for an incredible college essay
Evoke emotion in your audience
When telling a story, your audience should relate to you or feel what you’re feeling.
If the reader can picture what you’re writing, you’re on the right track!
Focus on reflecting on what you learned from the experience, not only on telling us about the experience.
Don’t try to sound like a good writer-say something meaningful!
Use some humor if the situation allows for it
Chances are the reader doesn’t know the big, fancy words you found in the thesaurus either! If you’ve never heard the word before, don’t use it.
