The Steps of the writing a College Level Essay
When writing an essay, there are eight steps for writing a college a level essay. The
following steps are Organizing, Brainstorm, Picking a topic, Making a plan, Writing a draft,
Editing the draft, Finalizing your draft, and last Repeating the process. In the first step of writing
a College level essay to find out what you want to write about for your college that you are
applying for to the schools. In this website called Common App, they allow you to write
maximum words of 650 for any college, but it does depend on the college that you are applying
for to the schools. Colleges would also want to have days where you want to start and finish so
that you would have your essay in before the deadline.
Second, there is Brainstorming the essay. In brainstorming essays, you must be able to
pick a topic that fascinates you the best way possible. You should outline what you want to write
your essay. Thinking of events and other activities that you did before because some college
would want to know what you do outside of school. Just having outlines of you would make the

person is an all-around student.
Third, pick a topic for the college level essay. After brainstorming ideas and having three

make the author hear you through the words of what you put in the essay.
Fourth, making a plan for the essay. Making sure that the essay has a focus point because
if the essay does not have a focus point did there is no point having a topic for writing an essay.
Your essay would be all over the places and colleges would be profoundly baffled of what you
are trying to say in your essay. They would think otherwise of you, especially if applying to Ivy
League school. They would think some ways about you because of how you were writing your
essay without a focus point. Having some Structure when it comes write an essay for colleges
that what to know who you are. Having story of what or who you are. Have an explanation of
what the situation that follows your story if there is one and just sequence from there until the
end of the essay.
Fifth, writing a draft of the college essay. I remember writing my college essay, and my
English teacher told just write until your fingers stop moving. She said, "Just keep writing and
writing." Just write it out. In writing a draft, you are not looking for the perfection at all you are
just writing out your ideas on paper. First, write an engaging introduction to your essay. You do
not need a lengthy introduction to your essay. It can be beautiful, short and to the point. When
