<p>I have trouble on starting my essay for smu...ive been procrastinating on it for 3 weeks now and i cant get myself to write it...how should i start??? what should i write about so that it will be unique??? the topics im thinkin of using are 1. The Admission Committee would like to know some of that which you are thinking, laughing, or talking about at this time in your life...or.. 2. A topic of your own choosing......PLS HELP ME!!!!!</p>
<p>I would read some sample essays that can be found in those "How to get into College" books. They've got some really neat ideas.</p>
<p>i procrastinated on my app too. just choose a significant experience and add a little fluff around it. it might be good to somehow relate that back to the college nad why you're going there. for example if ur applying to WashU they're big on community service, so you would talk about a service activity that you liked or changed you and then say you wanted to go to WashU because they'r big on community service. just do that with SMU. research the college.</p>
