@tineocollegeprep: The best college essays have good hooks and an authentic voice that draws the reader. This is just ONE style that tends to work really well (vivid description of an action scene + mystery), but there are a few others . . . . #collegeessay #collegeapps #senior #senioryear #classof2026
Here’s mine: It writhed beneath the glass. Deformed little shapes I couldn’t take my eyes away from. Some were frozen in place; others shifted. Yet, nearly all clung together in unique patterns. I leaned closer and suspended my palm over the yellow liquid underneath, aware of how easily it could all be ruined. I had returned every few days, feeding, cleaning, and watching them grow. But, one careless decision and weeks of careful tending could instantly vanish. Despite the cellular life’s delicate nature, under that glass petri dish, they felt illogical, something so complex that shouldn’t exist, yet somehow did.
PLEASE HARSHLY CRITICIZE IT

Idk if it’s good but I came up with “My most prized possession is colored pencil drawing of a raccoon someone else made.”

I keep hearing how essays are supposed to show growth, show how you’ll fit on campus, tie into your activities etc. Do these essays do that? Wish I could hear the whole thing

which hook sounds better? “At just four years old, I dreamed of growing up to be a thirty foot long prehistoric lizard. Needless to say, my parents were confused- and concerned- for their daughter’s sanity.” or “For someone who hates onions with an undying passion, it was an odd position to find myself elbow deep in their slimy caramelized goop.”

This is a niche writing skill that is irrelevant to college. We're basically judging the kids by whether they can write a gripping narrative nonfiction piece. Has very little to do with college papers. I find the whole thing ridiculous.
