<p>Im going to be a high school senior but i am completely lost when it comes to the essay. I havent started yet and have no idea what to write about if any of you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks</p>
<p>Look at the prepared prompts on the Common App</p>
<p>yea i did and i really have no idea how to write a good essay on any of them i mean ive never really done anything amazing or met anybody amazing i dunno what to write about</p>
<p>Look at the thread I posted about a free course in writing college essays. It is incredibly helpful.</p>
<p>when I was in your position (not doing great stuff) I decided to compare myself with a character from a book I read. because he HAD done great things...
it wasn't a straight-up cute "he did this, like me!" or something, so it did take thought.</p>
<p>and I don't even know if it was good. but I did get into one school (ED).</p>
<p>hey collegemom what is the link to your thread?</p>
