<p>I am attending community college full time. What kind of essays are Ivy League's looking for. I have the summer off and I want to write my essay this summer. My future majors are computer science and computer engineering. During high school I was involved in several computer programs but I didn't do any real clubs or anything. I'm not very good with essays. I spend my days coding and learning more about computers and studying and playing video games. If anyone can help me structure an essay together I would really appreciate it</p>
<p>When my kids were applying, we found this particularly helpful:

<p>I don’t think buying a book would help. </p>
<p>What do you think would help then? It seems to me as though you are looking for something specific, but don’t want to just come out and say it. “If anyone can help me structure an essay together…” That sounds, to me at least, like you are looking for someone else to do the heavy lifting for you. And also like you may need to brush up on your grammar, but that’s neither here not there. </p>
<p>To quote silverturtle’s guide “Your goal should be to write a compelling and interesting essay that reveals something about you that would make a school want you as a student. Also, admissions officers have read a lot of essays; avoiding clichés is important. Nonetheless, any topic can work as long as it is done well.”</p>
<p>If you’re transferring, you probably have to write a supplement about why you want to go to one of those schools. Just saying “greater academic opportunities,” won’t cut it, because most top schools take very few students via transfer (< 10). </p>
