Help me with College Essay

<p>I'm beginning to write an essay for college but I have no idea what to write about. Can someone suggest me some ideas ? I remember there are 6 options to write about ?
Is the book helping to write college essay good ? I think I may buy one to see how I'm supposed to write.</p>

<p>Ummmm... that book you mentioned is probably your best starting point.</p>

<p>Just read a good article written by the Dean of George Mason University:</p>

<p>essays</a> and recommendations in college admissions Not Your Average Admissions Blog “A Beneath the Surface Look At Everything College Admissions (with a few shameless plugs)”</p>

<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>sorry but I'm still confused. What exactly am I required to do ??? Am I free to write about myself ?
I just checked out the website of Wake Forest University. It said there are 6 questions need to be answered and 1 essay. It means the essay is to describe who I am ??</p>

<p>Are you looking at the essay prompts for the Common Application? There is that, but then schools will also sometimes have additional essay or short-answer questions they ask on their own applications or their supplement to the Common App.</p>

<p>There are some real good books out with examples of good essays. It would probably be very helpful to look through one or more of those books. Ask your school librarian to help you find those resources.</p>

<p>In general, yes, you want to reveal yourself through your essay. That may mean writing about yourself, or it may mean writing about something else in such a way that gives the reader an insight into who you are and how you look at things.</p>

<p>i can do a really comprehensive, analytical edit of your essay. pm me. :)</p>

<p>lol I will :)
btw, does anyone have an essay for me to read so that I'd know the best way for me :D</p>
