• This presentation provides advice on how to make
  a great college app essay.
• One of the best techniques for composing a great
  essay is to balance your content between
  abstraction and specific information.
• This way you can make your content dynamic and
  the same time engaging for readers.

In order to be specific, you need to

• provide a lot of details of situations
• provide vivid descriptions
• describe personal stories
• create feelings and images.

4
In order to be abstract, you need to

• reflect upon your ideas
• provide explanation of events
• provide interpretations for better
  understanding
• make comparisons
• give statistics.

5
The balance between abstraction and specific
information

• The writer shows what is meant by being specific.
• The writer tells what is meant by being abstract.

• The process of writing an application essay is
  often compared with taking photos with digital
  camera. The photographer zooms close to the
  object to get specifics of it. In order to get
  abstract, the camera should zoom out. In the
  first case you, the photographer/writer provide
  your readers with specific information about the
  topic. In the second case you get a larger
  picture of a topic, therefore you are able to
  explain the points in broad context.

• Making your app essay specific will help to avoid
  too broad essay.
• Do not expect to cover all your qualities and
  aspirations.

• Do not go over the limit. If you have been
  assigned to write a 250 words paper, it is the
  best you stick with this length.
• Another important thing to consider is providing
  honest information about yourself.
• Given that app essay is intended to describe your
  personality and views, some people may think it
  would be okay to present themselves with new
  skills. It is not okay, really.
• You are just a person that is unique in own ways.
  If you do not have significant accomplishments
  until college, pick another topic. So make sure
  you are not embellishing your success.
