First of all what, specifically, does the college you are applying to ask for in the essay?\nIf you are expected to write about yourself and why you want to attend that college or major in a particular field -  then just be yourself.  Avoid saying what you think the college staff wants to hear (they get tired of all of that crap - and see through it).  Make sure that your essay is uniquely you.  Make sure that it is interesting enough that those reviewing it will actually completely read it.  Review it several times for errors.  Then let someone who knows you well read it and give you feedback.  \n\nI remember when my son was competing for Governor's honors in our state.  Most of the competition dressed out in dark suits and ties - and they had been coached on what to say and how to say it by their parents or teachers or even college "coaches". They memorized answers to questions. These young men and women were anxious and came across as "phony" - more like actors who memorized a script.  My son wore what he always wore to class, didn't prepare a speach and spoke from his heart.  In the end he was nominated  in 4 subjects- and the judges said that he was "authentic", "real", "enthusiastic", "a breath of fresh air" and "had a sparkle in his eyes about the subjects he was interested in - and could think on his feet".  Let you light shine.

Hi, I'm an english teacher.To write a good essay, you must remember one crucial thing- WRITE THE ESSAY (OR ANY OTHER ANSWER) ASSUMING THAT THE TEACHER READING IT KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE TOPIC, AND YOU ALONE CAN EXPLAIN IT TO HIM/HER IN THE BEST MANNER. Your answer automatically becomes good.\n\nnext,technically an essay has 3 parts.\n1. the introduction: where you define/introduce your topic. if its a festival, tell WHY,WHEN,WHERE it is celebrated. If it's about a preson- tell WHO HE IS,WHERE HE WAS BORN,WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT HIM. If its a moral issue-tell WHAT it means, WHY it's important.All this needs to fit in about 50-60 words.\n\n2. the matter: is where you explain the entire topic in 3-5 paragraphs.Each paragraph must have a theme.Which means that if you're writing about the positive aspect,the whole paragraph must be about it.Don't mix ideas within a single paragraph. Write the positives/negatives, or expaling the entire concept in detail.\n\n3.the conclusion: here write a SHORT account,where you summarize your matter.give SUGGESTIONS or ADVICE or give your own OPINION here. that's all.\n\nMoreover, you must TRY !! good luck.

The key to writing an essay is inspiration and structure. Assuming you have a topic, gather what information you can about it, allow your mind to explore the boundaries of that information and see what intersts you about it, then write down a list of those things in th eorder that they appear to be connected. Think of how you can interst your reader in that subject, a catchy title and a few words of introduction. Then work your way through each of your main points (depending on essay length there shouldn't be more than three or four) saying something engaging about each. Now think how you can wrap up what you are saying to finish off with a neat ending. For me the ending always referred back to the introduction in some way and included the words of the title. That brings the whole to a satisfactory conclusion in arounded sort of way. You have posed a question for your reader and and answered it. Try to vary your sentence lengths so as not to be too clunky and keep the language simple. Use of long or obscure words may seem clever at first sight but if they are not in common use can look like bragging - and if you get the wrong meaning of them will only make you look silly. Write in a manner that can be easily read aloud without tripping over or hesitation and you should do well. Good luck - essay writing was my favourite.... And remeber to check your spellings!

Master the standard format for "the five paragraph essay."  Know it backwards and forwards and stick to the formula.  Clearly expressed thoughts, coherently presented and purposeful  is more important than tossing in hastily acquired vocabulary.  When given a topic choice, go for the one with which you are most familiar.  Check this link and good luck.  And, read, read, read. If you can enlist help, ask somebody to read your practice essays who can be critical and honest.  \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/index.html

write about what makes the school a great school and why you want to go there.   Include all the educational type stuff you can think of instead of things like "because it's the closest".\n\nWhat's the essay for?  If it is a class placement type thing where they want to see what level English you need, write about whatever you want to.  Double check your spelling, punctuation, run on sentences, etc

You could include in your essay at least a little respect for the language that you are writing in. For me it is about finding the best or most appropriate word to describe the circumstance without resorting to an expletive or taking the language into the gutter. You could start by rephrasing your request for help. A simple “please help me,” as I have shown a total disregard to my teacher asked me to write an article on respect as an atonement for it. In the end, it will be meaningless, if you ask someone else to do the work for you. You can only move forward as a human being if you learn to respect those who have done so much to educate you. From the person who cleans the classroom, to the head of the school or college you should treat all people with kindness and respect. It is for you to learn how to be the best human being that you can. One day you will be an adult and I hope that you will have tried to put this into practice or your world will be a very shallow place. This is only about two hundred words, but you know the reasons why you are to write the piece. I hope that you will undertake it in the right spirit.

I'm not sure of your area in fine arts, but when I applied for an MFA in Fiction Writing, I worked to demonstrate my own interest and work, as well as how a particular program could really help me.  This helps show that you've looked into the program, that you understand its "flavor," and that you've considered how well you'd fit in there.\n\nIn the first paragraph, I talked about my influences, my genre choices, and my goals.\n\nIn the second, I discussed the work of the professors in the program, and how these works meshed with my own.\n\nIn the third, I discussed my weaknesses, and how I felt the program would help me.  I also mentioned my short and long-term goals as a writer.\n\nYou might want to contact the Graduate Studies secretaries in the departments to which you are applying, and ask if there are any current students you could email.  Also, email the faculty, if you're familiar with their work -- just make sure they're not on sabbatical, since they may not get their email in a timely fashion, nor have time to respond!  :- )\n\nBriefly mention that you're interested in the program, and want to learn more, but don't ask them what to say in your application.   When committees meet to discuss applicants, they do, quite often, consider factors outside of the application itself.  I know that my campus visits and previous conversations helped my admissions, even though I wasn't as talented as the rest of the incoming pool.  They care about talent, sure, but they also really care about effort.

At my high school we didn't have majors, and I still got into University. There are some specific requirements for certain art programs though. You have to have taken some art history courses and have a portfolio with some samples of your own original artwork. Aside from the specifics, you need good grades and recommendations from teachers. A recommendation from an art teacher or artist would be even better.
