Reviewing the Sample UMD Application Essay
Reviewing the Sample UMD Application EssayIf you are a student of the University of Missouri and have been awarded the chance to present a sample UMD application essay on campus for your review, then I am certain that you will definitely want to have this essay reviewed by a professional. Therefore, when I give you my recommendation to review the sample essay, it is because this essay was written by someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to the essay.This person is called Paul Sager, who is a member of the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of Missouri. Paul is a wonderful writer, as I have read a number of his essays that I consider to be very good, and I think that he has a great deal of experience with writing about journalism.Because of his experience, I am confident that you will find that this sample essay will be a valuable resource for your own writing. First of all, this is a very detailed essay. Paul included a lot of information about the student, his goals, his strengths, his experiences, and his weaknesses, as well as explanations about the decisions that were made during the process.You will also notice that this is not a typical essay that most college admissions officers use. Although Paul provided the admissions officer with a long list of questions and his answers to those questions, he also provided a very thorough explanation of his reasoning for the choice of who to accept and to reject. This really helped me understand the admission officer's criteria much better.I think that this is the best type of essay that I have ever read. Most writers look for a way to catch the admissions officer's attention, but instead, this is much more direct and tells the admissions officer why the student is right for them.By writing this in this specific format, the student not only captures the applicant's situation and circumstances, but healso shows the admissions officer why he or she should hire him or her. And that is exactly what an essay does for a college student.Although an essay can be considered an essay, it is probably one of the most important elements in an admissions letter, especially if the applicant's situation is unique. This is the reason why I recommend that students begin writing essays right after their acceptance letter is received.Once they have done this, they should go back over their entire file and begin writing essays for all of the available openings that are listed in the letter. This is the best time to begin to develop your own unique style. And believe me, the faculty at your university will appreciate this unique approach to the submission of your essays.
