College Essays for Admission

College Essays for Admission August 10, 2013 Summer is the time to be writing your college essays (photo credit: Alvesgaspar). During these final weeks of summer, its time to write your college essays for admission. Many students choose to wait until the school year start. Often times, they do this simply because theyre procrastinators. After all, who wants to have to sit down and write all of your college essays while the suns up and your days are free? It doesnt sound like the best option in the world. Going to the beach sounds much more enticing. But waiting until the school year starts to commence writing your college essays for admission is a really bad idea. During the school year, youll be inundated with homework, tests, activities, and such. Just when you think youll be able to set aside time to write your all-important college admissions essays, youll have an AP Physics assignment that pops up that takes priority. But your college essays need to be the priority and so why not write all of these admissions essays when you actually have time to write them? Doesnt that make the most sense? This one private college counselor wrote a while back about he doesnt advise that his students write their admissions essays over the summer. He thinks that summers should be spent doing something that students can write about in their college essays.  No kidding! Of course summers should be spent productively! Oy vey. But that doesnt mean that one cannot also write ones college essays during this time as well. Theyve got to be written at some point. There is no better time than the summer. Weve been saying it for years and our students have been writing their essays over the summer for years. Its how we roll at Ivy Coach.
