<p>One of my schools said that they would look at extra essays, research, etc. from applicants, so I decided to submit an essay I won a competition with. My college counselor said that I should attach a cover letter to the essay when I send it. So, what should I write in the cover letter?? I'm pretty bad at coming up with nice-sounding formal letter, does anyone have any ideas as to what I should say? muchas gracias!</p>
<p>just address the admissions committee or whatever and explain how you won this very prestigious award blah blah blah</p>
