A UK or European application essay is a very different piece of writing.
Rather than a personal narrative, it is an academic statement focused on your chosen future major(s). Universities want to see clear evidence of your academic background and interest in this subject and proof that you are ready to study this in depth for the duration of your degree studies.
This is where many US students go wrong. A Common App essay, no matter how strong, is not designed for this format.
I work closely with you to build a thoughtful, degree-focused statement from the ground up, one that reflects your academic interests, highlights relevant super-curricular exploration, and speaks directly to what UK and European universities are looking for.
(And, the good news is there is usually only one essay required! The same personal statement is sent to all your UK university choices and this can often be adapted for Irish and other European applications as well. There are no supplemental questions, just one essay and done!)
