Prompt 1 asks me to describe the world I came from.
Should I talk about my world and a little bit about my dream?
Or half about my world and half about my dream?
Or mostly about my dream and some about my world?
Thanks
The point behind this essay is to give the college a reason to say yes to your application.
They can easily Google wherever you’re from and learn a lot about it. That’s not what this is about.
This essay is about YOU. It’s supposed to reassure the reader that you will be a good fit for their school.
So if you’re writing about your world, it’s so that they can see how your world has shaped you into that good fit for their school. If it’s about your dreams, it should tell how your dreams, and how you plan to fulfill them, makes you a good fit fir their school.
Every word you write should be with the ultimate goal in mind: to give them a reason to say yes.
