Let your life speak. That venerable Quaker saying is great advice for any well-constructed college essay, but so many seniors wrestle with writer's block as the "perfect" essay eludes them. In a rebroadcast of a popular episode from Season 4, two veteran college counselors and AB host Lee Coffin from Dartmouth offer timely tips on composing an effective college essay in 650 words or fewer. “The essays that I love seem so effortless,” Ronnie McKnight from Atlanta’s Paideia School observes. “It is just an introduction of who you are.” Dean Coffin concurs: “What's the takeaway from what you shared?...And what is it about being a camp counselor, for example, that adds to my understanding of you as an applicant or as a member of the class I'm trying to build?” Adds Sherri Geller from Gann Academy in Massachusetts: “The questions and prompts are…things that 17-year-olds could answer. And if they were given this as an assignment in an English class…and just told to sit and write it without the pressure of thinking, ‘Is this going to affect my college admission decision?’ I think they really wouldn't find it to be that hard.”
