These are some great tips. For those who could use some more specific advice, tips and information about how to write compelling personal narratives (aka college admissions essays), check out this blog: www.lagunawriter.wordpress.com. It's called No Fear College Essays because the goal is to help students learn how to find compelling topics, structure their narratives and revise and polish them into great reads.

Hope it helps!
