The truth is that, just as each applicant is di erent, each admissions essay is unique in not only content, but also form. So, instead of reading every college essay you can find on the internet, we recommend reviewing this nifty markup we put together, in which we highlight all of the places these college essayists got it right.  \nNote that we haven’t published any one essay in its entirety—some things are best left in a cloak of mystery, and we don’t want you to be tempted to mimic an essay’s structure, concept, or execution from beginning to end. These are meant to be loose references only! Observe and be inspired by each essay’s superpowered strengths and keep it moving!
