How to Write Short Essays: A Slideshare Tutorial

by j9robinson | Mar 31, 2016

Learn the Secret to Nailing a Short Essay for Your College Applications

Students applying to college often spend most of their energy on their core essay for The Common Application or larger universities.

They will soon learn, however, that they need to master the art of writing shorter essays.

Lots of short essays.

Most of the private colleges that use The Common Application require students to write additional, short essays, called supplemental essays , or “supps” for short.

I was inspired to put together this Slideshare tutorial to help students on these shorter pieces because the University of California just changed their required essays from two longer ones to four shorter ones.

As you can see, it’s important to learn how to write personal short essays that are engaging, meaningful and memorable.

Take a few minutes and check out this presentation and learn what I believe is the secret to nailing these short essays.

Learn how to focus your shorter essays to keep them interesting and effective.

If you found it helpful, please share with your friends!

If you are working on your supps, here are 10 Hot Tips for Powering Your Supplemental Essays .

Thank you for all the great information.

You are very welcome! 🙂
