Forget the idea that you need some dramatic life story. What actually makes an essay memorable is how well you tell it. We’ll cover how to pick a topic, find a voice that sounds like you (not like a thesaurus), sidestep the mistakes admissions readers see over and over, and use storytelling techniques that stick with the reader. Bring a blank page or a half-finished draft, either way, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of what to write and why.
