COLLEGE ESSAY

Write a college admissions essay for at least one school you're considering. 

To help you get started (if you haven't started already), or to help with editing and polishing, here are a few pages that may prove useful:
--A concise and insightful description of what Committees of Admission want to know, from Boston College: Writing the "Perfect Essay 
--A page with links pertaining to various aspects of college essay writing, including two sample essays with critiques/commentary, from collegeboard.com: Essay Skills  
A typed, polished draft is due the first day of class.

    Can we have our college essay be the Common App essay? That's what I wrote mine for that but they ask for it to be between 250 to 500 words.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan
