Frequently Asked Questions
Can I write about any topic for my college essay?
While many colleges provide open-ended prompts, it's advisable to choose a topic that allows you to showcase qualities that are relevant to your application and align with the values of the institution. Personal experiences, challenges overcome, and meaningful moments are often good choices. C2A can help your student determine what their strengths are and formulate them into a powerful essay.
Should I tailor my essay for each college I apply to?
It's a good idea to customize your essay for each college if the prompts differ or if you can highlight specific aspects of the institution that appeal to you. However, your student should try to maintain the core message and authenticity of your essay regardless of the prompt. C2A helps students find their stand-out qualities and can help your student put their best foot forward.
