Many college essays tend toward black-and-white conclusions, make blanket statements, or switch unrealistically between negative and positive perspectives. However, this kind of writing sounds less mature and thoughtful to the admissions officer and is generally not reflective of real life. Thus, it\u2019s important to compose a balanced, nuanced college essay. Here are a few tips to help you along in your drafting process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Feel Compelled to End Your Essay With a Lesson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many applicants feel that their essays must be summed up by a particular moral or lesson learned. However, college essays can simply conclude with a restatement\/rewording of the essay\u2019s overall thesis, which need not be moralistic. You can also end your essay on a light-hearted note that references an idea previously mentioned in the essay. Regardless, don\u2019t feel pressure to squeeze in a moral or piece of wisdom at the essay\u2019s closing unless such a line fits in naturally in your essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Superlatives When Possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing that something was the \u201cmost interesting idea in the world,\u201d \u201cthe kindest thing anyone has ever said to me,\u201d \u201cthe lowest point in my life,\u201d can backfire in an essay. If this superlative phrasing is truly accurate to your experience, then it may be necessary in your essay. But if it is not, don\u2019t use superlative phrasing. And think deeply about whether there is a softer way to communicate your idea, and whether the superlative is truly used appropriately in this particular instance. If you overuse superlatives or don\u2019t provide enough evidence for why the superlative is being used, you risk giving the reader the impression that your essay\u2019s claims are exaggerated in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Exaggerate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following on that last point, avoid exaggerating in your college essays. Remember, just exaggerating is different from using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/art\/hyperbole\">hyperbole<\/a> (also known as overstatement), which is an effective rhetorical device. Of course, you don\u2019t want to overdo it on the hyperbole, either, and in order to be effective, it tends to require sparing usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exaggerating even occasionally in your essay calls the rest of your essay into question. Thus, it\u2019s advisable to represent events as accurately as you can. Blanket statements (meaning in this case, statements that apply to many categories of people, things, events, or concepts, particularly those unrelated to your unique individual experiences) should be avoided for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UNC Supplemental Essay Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading prompt\">Discuss one of your personal qualities and share a story, anecdote, or memory of how it helped you make a positive impact on a community. This could be your current community or another community you have engaged. <em>(200-250 words)<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This essay prompt shares similarities with some of the Common App essay prompts, but your response should be completely distinct from your Common App essay. Moreover, this essay should focus on your community impact. Whether you\u2019re a part of the community you impacted or not, you should share with the reader what this community means to you. Sharing this information will help make your essay more compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, this essay is not about the community you impacted, but about who you are. The essay should revolve around \u201cone of your personal qualities,\u201d which could include a character trait, identity, talent, skill, or even a weakness you\u2019ve turned around. Whatever personal quality you choose to highlight in this essay, name it specifically in the essay. Be careful to maintain a humble tone as you describe this quality. Then, share a single story about how this quality helped you impact a community. The prompt isn\u2019t looking for a series of vignettes or varied anecdotes, but rather a single unified narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, focus on <strong>one community<\/strong> that is important to you, <strong>one personal quality<\/strong> that helped you impact this community, through <strong>one story<\/strong> that is portrayed humbly. Use specific, concrete details when possible while telling this story. Clarify when this impact occurred and what it means to you. Lastly, let your empathy shine through!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading prompt\">Discuss an academic topic that you\u2019re excited to explore and learn more about in college. Why does this topic interest you? Topics could be a specific course of study, research interests, or any other area related to your academic experience in college. <em>(200-250 words)<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a pretty standard supplemental essay prompt asked by many other schools, so you may already have an essay written that you can repurpose here. Note that this prompt does not ask you about why you want to study this subject at UNC, but only about why you want to study it more generally. Although you need not bring up UNC at all in this essay, you absolutely can bring up why you want to study this subject specifically at UNC if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not have a unique origin story behind this academic interest. That said, you likely have at least a few prior experiences with this topic that you can draw upon here. Have you always been excited by science class experiments, building an interest in chemistry over time? Have current events inspired your interest in artificial intelligence? What books have you read that have solidified your interest in the origins of democracy? Regardless of your topic of interest, describe at least one occasion when that interest was fostered, sparked, nurtured, or otherwise impacted. Then, share that experience with the reader, using specific details to illustrate your narrative(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help polishing up your UNC supplemental essays, check out our<a href=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/services\/essay\/\"> College Essay Review<\/a> service.
