You\nneed the Coalition essay if you are going to apply to college via the\nMyCoalition online platform. It is a free online platform designed for colleges\nand presented in 2016. One of its main advantages is the option for a student\nto enter personal data, information about the school classes, GPA, results of\nthe tests, etc. into one area, save it there and use this set to apply to all\nschools. An essay is a part of the set as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some\ncolleges accept only Coalition App admissions, for example, the University of\nFlorida, the University of Maryland, also the University of Pittsburgh and the\nUniversity of Washington. In general, Coalition App is supported by 111 schools\nin 24 states, plus Washington D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nsystem will determine the prompt of an essay that the student will need to\ncompose and its size. It will be the first step before starting to write that\nessay to learn which platform you will have to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why You Need to Write an Admission Essay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nmain reason why colleges want these essays is that they want to know more about\ntheir applicants. Of course, it is impossible to get the full profile of a\nperson via the short text of 400-500 words, but it helps. It is not enough to\njust have a great GTA anymore. You need to present yourself to the college,\nlike in the future doing job interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essays\ncan help the college admission committees to see what their potential students\nare interested in and what they have already achieved. Besides, there is one\nmore meaningful factor: an essay shows the writing skills of the candidates,\ntheir language and the ability to express themselves through words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nwould be most unwise to treat the application essay flippantly. Fortunately,\nthe Coalition essay prompts are public, so, everybody can choose the most\nsuitable prompt to prepare and compose an essay showing the best sides of the\npersonality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Coalition Essay Prompts for the Applicants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These\nessay prompts are both universal and timely. Even other schools that do not\nwork with this platform ask their candidates to compose the admission essay\nbasing on one of the prompts which Coalition App offers. The average length of\nan essay should be about 400 words, so, they all must be chosen wisely and tell\nas much of you as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coalition\nApplication offers five essay prompts, four of them are defined properly, and\nthe fifth prompt is \u201cfree\u201d, there you can write about anything you find\ninteresting and appealing to you as a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“Tell a story from your life, describing an experience that either demonstrates your character or helped to shape it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nis a general theme which gives you great freedom of choice. Your experience had\nto include different incidents, you may choose both positive and negative examples\nif you think they had an impact on you. Choose one to present properly, because\nyou have only about 400 words. Avoid general phrases and be specific instead,\ntell about things that influenced your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“Describe a time when you made a meaningful contribution to others in which the greater good was your focus. Discuss the challenges and rewards of making your contribution.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a more specific topic. The committee would like to know what things are the\ngreater good for you. Describe the case which was essential for you. Good ideas\ncan be possessed from your experience of the non-school activity, maybe\nvolunteering. However, even if you have all the reasons to be proud of your\ndeeds, remain humble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“Has there been a time when you’ve had a long-cherished or accepted belief challenged? How did you respond? How did the challenge affect your beliefs?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nprompt wants you to compose a character study of yourself. The admissions\ncommittee wants to learn from it what are your personal beliefs, and if you are\nopen-minded to listen to accept other opinions. You have an opportunity to\nexpress your thoughts about social or political phenomena, though it is not\nobligatory if you don’t want to touch these themes. Besides, the members of the\ncommittee are also people with their own beliefs, and some of them might not\nsupport your decisions. So, consider this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“What is the hardest part of being a teenager now? What’s the best part? What advice would you give a younger sibling or friend (assuming they would listen to you)?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\noffers you to express your ideas on three different subjects in fact. You might\nget by with two of them. Of course, you can cover all three if you wish. There\nis one catch in this prompt \u2013 it is concentrated on the “now”. So,\nyou are encouraged to talk about cutting-edge technologies, social changes and\ntheir impact on the teen’s daily life. You are supposed to write about\nyourself, remember, so, tell about the things which matter most for you as a\nteenager. If you are not a teenager \u2013 for example, you want to apply for the\nsecond higher education \u2013 you still can choose this prompt and tell what you\nthink about the modern teenagers and their life challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“Submit an essay on a topic of your choice.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis the possibility to choose your prompt and share your thoughts about\nanything. Still, the main recommendation is the same: you should write about\nwhat you know and what you feel deeply. Make sure to structure the text\nproperly, so that the readers would easily follow your ideas and your logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Write a Coalition Essay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nprompts of the Coalition essays are nothing like rocket science. You won’t need\nany specific researches, the aim is to tell about yourself, share some\nexperience which can represent your personality and also make it so that the\ncollege would remember your application and want to invite you on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Recommendations on Working with the Coalition Essay Prompts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • Present yourself as a unique person.<\/strong> There are many school graduates with high marks, volunteers and great sportsmen of the world championship level and even winners. You are not supposed to hide such details, however, don’t rely on them only. Besides, this information is already known to the college, they would not need reading to it once more. Concentrate on some specific things which differentiate you and tell a story, do not just list facts about your achievements.<\/li>
  • Don’t try to pretend.<\/strong> Even if you think that the college representatives want to read certain things in an essay, the attempt will not be worth your efforts. They have already read thousands of such texts to recognize any show off immediately. Instead of this, think of the things which describe you more than your standard information about school achievements, social life and maybe work does. The essay gives you the priceless opportunity to show yourself from a different angle, which is not covered by the other documents. Let you be yourself, however, be polite.<\/li>
  • Choose the topic that appeals to you.<\/strong> There is no use to pick something that might sound \u201cburning\u201d if it is not interesting or critical for you. Even if someone considers that writing a Coalition essay on the loud theme like abortions or the death penalty would be good for creating an ideal candidate picture, it won’t work if this theme does not touch your soul, forgive this metaphor.<\/li>
  • Use literary techniques.<\/strong> An essay is not a bureaucratic financial report, it is a story about you and your life with its challenges and beliefs. There is a place for secondary details if they add more life to your story and make it catchy. Tell about your feelings and reflections. Refer to metaphors, allegories, and symbols.<\/li>
  • Proofread your essay<\/strong> \u2013 it must be perfect grammatically. First, create a draft and hide it for a couple of days. You need this time to clear your mind and eye. When you return to your text, you will find lots of issues to correct. There will be typos, tense and case issues, phrases which to change or delete completely. Most likely you will want to change some paragraphs and the structure itself because some of the arguments or subjects will be irrelevant. Repeat this in several days again.<\/li>
  • Find beta readers.<\/strong> When the draft of an essay satisfies you, the time to judge it by other people will come. Ask some people you trust to read it, you may refer to your parents, former teachers or coaches, older brothers or sisters. They can comment and suggest some ideas because they have the advantage of the standers-by. With their help, you can also improve your work.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
