Look at the prompt first. If you’re completing the Common Application, you’ll probably be asked to describe a significant experience of some kind. What that experience is matters less than how well you write about it, so try and remember as many specific details about what you saw, heard, smelled, felt, etc. before you start putting the narrative together. I’m calling it a “narrative” because while it is nonfiction, you do need to tell a story about how this experience changed you.

If the college has its own questions, you may need to take a different approach to how you structure the essay, but keep your writing detailed, and have a clear point of view.

Write something you know! Don’t stress about it too much. And if all else fails, make up an interesting story.
