Hi everyone! Today I will be reading my UMich essays that got me accepted. These essays I worked hours on and I recommend starting as early as possible. I also recommend writing essays that are so unique to you and your experiences that no on else could have written that essay. I was once told that you should write college app essays "as if a teacher picked up an essay on the ground and could immediately know who it is about." Watching essay videos and reading other accepted essays can be so helpful in this process.
Also, one thing that helped me write out of the box essays was writing late at night. For whatever reason at night time, I would be more creative and would have more motivation to write. I think some of this is because at night your brain can be so tired that it can't physically think of realistic things, so it creates out of the ordinary ideas to write about. Basically, what I am trying to say is find what works best for you and stick with it.
