My name is Vince and a few weeks ago I met with a professor from Brandeis that assisted in the process of completing my college essay. Her name was Professor Tetrault and brought forth a lot of her own experiences to aid me. The colleges look at every detail in an essay and the edge I had by having Professor Terault to lend me helped me to work out the kinks to make a clear and effective essay. My advice to those who are taking part in the college process is to always seek help or guidance from someone who has a good understanding of what needs to be done so that you get a feel of what is happening. The essay is a big part of the whole process, it gives the colleges an understanding of a lot of qualities and attributes you are going to bring to their college. It is always good to have ideas to think of what can be written about, some examples are someone that has influenced you the most, family life, most memorable experience, and whatever you would like to write about yourself. It is good to make these ideas and to ask someone else who is experienced of their perception on the subject.
