Writing Your College Application Essay? We Can Help!

There are a few simple guidelines to follow when formatting a college application essay. Generally, your essay should be double-spaced with one inch margins on all sides. Also, remember that admissions officers are often time-pressed, so don't try to make things too beautiful or complicated. Be sure to use proper font size and spacing for your essay, as well. When formatting your essay, try to stick to the word count required by the college. You should also double-space and indent your text.


First of all, keep in mind that admission officers only read your essay if it helps them make a decision. If you're submitting a college application essay with no clear direction to follow, they may never read the rest of your application. The result is that you can't know if the rest of your application will be competitive. If you want to stand out, you have to make sure that your college application essay is well-written and follows proper formatting.

I couldn’t have imagined applying to college without Tiffany’s help. I seriously looked forward to every meeting I had with her. She was not only my advisor, but also a great friend. She understood what I was trying to get across in my college application essays and was able to help me express myself in a thoughtful manner. I was able to get into the nursing program at my dream school, Dominican University, and Tiffany played a huge part in this life accomplishment. I still text her updates and am so happy to have a lifelong friend.

One way to make your college application essay stand out is by using a narrative structure. This structure allows the reader to take a journey with you as you discuss different experiences. The goal of this type of essay structure is to create a snapshot of your life, and it works well for stories that involve a lot of reflection and dialogue. However, there are some limitations to this structure, so it's important to use the right one for the approach you’re trying to make.
