What is a college application essay and why is it required
Through the application essay the student can divulge more information about their personality which has not been covered in the statement of purpose, CV or the letter of recommendation. It is an important document that lets the admission officers know more about your thought process, motivations and personality which also bring to forth your qualities which are not portrayed from the academic and test scores. Most importantly you have to tell your story to the admission committee which will uncover your personality, life experiences, challenges, triumphs, setbacks and most significantly the lessons learnt.
