Writing your college application essay is never an easy job. And certainly not a small one. It can take weeks to write, edit and rewrite the perfect essay. But sometimes, you don’t have weeks to write it. Just a handful of days. It’s not ideal and we don’t recommend it, but in case of unforeseen circumstances you can do it in 3 days. Here is a short guide to writing the best essay in a short time:
DAY I
- Spend the morning coming up with ideas for your essay
- Choose one and use the afternoon to write it
- Take feedback from your friends or counsellor
- Take a break and read it later at night to edit
DAY II
- Spend the day doing structural edits. You should end up with an essay that fits the word limit and has a strong flow
- Read it out loud and make sure your thoughts don’t sound disconnected
- Overall, your essay should highlight the best parts of you, the biggest challenge you overcame and how that experience changed you
DAY III
- Make smaller edits and fine tune it
When you’re done, take a breath. And Voilà! You’re finally done.
