I'm in the process of writing my supplemental essays for college apps and I'm struggling a bit. Can anyone share some examples of successful supplemental essays to help me get a better idea of what these colleges are looking for?
Sure! It's important to remember that a successful supplemental essay addresses the specific prompt while also providing insight into your personality, values, and perspectives. You can find many example essays—submitted to specific colleges and universities by real students—on CollegeVine's blog: https://www.collegevine.com/category/essays/essay-examples
Remember to personalize your response and relate it to your own experiences and interests. While these examples provide solid structure and content, it's crucial to tailor your own essay to the specific prompt and college, showcasing who you are as an individual. Good luck!
