Using Harvard College Essay Prompts
Using Harvard College Essay PromptsOne of the most popular Harvard College essay prompts for the 2020-2020 academic year is, 'What is it about you that makes you different?' If you were to read through the responses to this prompt, you would see that most students choose the phrase 'what is it about me' because they simply are unsure of what exactly to write in their essay.You should write the essay according to the submission guidelines, but when the college application asks you to write about what is it about you, your first reaction might be, 'I don't know. I'm not sure that I can answer that question or respond to that prompt.Here are some tips to help you start to think about what it is about you in the context of your essay prompt. Ask yourself what makes you unique as a person? What is it about you that makes you someone that you are right now?To do this, you need to keep in mind that there are things that you bring into the world that you are responsible for, while others hav e nothing to do with you whatsoever. How does this impact your life as a whole? How does your view on things in the world change when you take into account how other people's view of things is impacted by the things that you are responsible for?Ask yourself what it is about you that help you grow as a person and ask yourself what is it about you that has you trying to change yourself? The most powerful way to accomplish this is to consider the totality of who you are, and then keep those ideas in mind as you write your essay.If you do, however, you might want to talk to someone who has found success with your skills or talents, or you might need to think about some of the choices that you've made in the past. Be honest about these, and try to be open about them so that you don't come across as needy, or as somebody who is worried about the acceptance process.Writing your own Harvard College essay prompt is important. You should not stop at the first option you find because you are a nxious about what it might mean about you. However, if you keep an open mind and an open heart, you will come up with something that you will enjoy writing and that can set you apart from the rest of the class.
