The Personal Statement and Supplemental Essays
Critical Elements of the College Admission Decision
It is well known that most admission officers consider a student’s Personal Statement and responses to College Application essay prompts an essential factor in the admission decision, nearly as essential as a student’s GPA and test scores.
At The College Blueprint, we are very successful in assisting students gain admission to colleges they are very excited to attend. Over the past 15 years, we have worked with thousands of students to compile a list of colleges that best fit their interests, identify selection factors personal to their needs and goals, and assist with them with their short and long term educational planning.
One of the final elements of the student’s application, and perhaps one of the most important ones, is the personal statement or essay. The purpose of the essay is to communicate the student’s character and personality and to demonstrate the student’s writing ability.
What information does each student want admission officers to know about that does not appear on the rest of the application, and how can students best communicate what they want the admissions officer to know?
The professional writers and teachers that form our Essay Coaching Team at The College Blueprint Writing Center guides students to provide responses that help admission officers get to feel like they know them.
