Introduction to the Essay Writing Guide

Frequently the college application essay or personal essay causes applicants a great deal of anxiety. Instead of thinking of the essay as some kind of big hurdle to get over, think of it as the one place on the application form where you can really express yourself and allow the admissions officers to get a glimpse of who you really are.
