Trial draft of college admissions essay due Oct. 19 & 20.
I'm calling it a trial draft in an attempt to "lower the bar" a bit -- with the goal of getting everyone writing. Then, gradually, we'll raise the bar in the next few weeks.
In terms of topic, many colleges, including those in the UMaine system, leave it very open. The UMaine essay basically invites applicants "write an essay on a topic of your choice." Essays about memorable experiences or people who have been influential in student's lives are often successful. Good luck on this important assignment!
