Well, for one thing, universities require their incoming students to write application essays prior to admission because it can be one of their basis on whether or not they should accept you in the university. It certainly isn’t just a for fun thing in which you do not feel obligated to do such essays because the truth is, you are required and obliged to write such essays so that you can get the approval of the panel. They make you write these essays because they want to know what kind of person you are, they want to know what makes you “YOU”, what makes you tick and what are your strengths and weaknesses. They want to know who exactly is the person standing right in front of them; can you follow instructions easily? Do you meet their standards? Would you be a nuisance to the university? Or are you someone who would opt to copy their essay from a website or someone? These are just some of the questions that may arise in the prying and doubtful eyes of the panels that will judge you accordingly and fairly in so that whether you can be admitted, or be rejected from the university.

All in all, writing a college application essay is a very hard task and the only way you can make it easier is to be yourself. Never lie because this piece of paper will determine your success or failure in life. This single piece of requirement could simple make or break you. Remember to be honest and be truthful in every single word you write.
