에세이는 대학입시 전형에서 비학업적 요소 가운데 가장 큰 비중을 차지한다. 즉 학업성적 다음으로 중요하다고할 수 있다.
대학들은 입학 에세이를 통해 지원자의 지성, 소통능력, 작문 실력, 자신의 목소리, 포부와 목표, 창의성, 진취성과 자기주도성 및 교육에 대한 관심 등을 파악하기 때문이다.
대다수 대학들은 8월이면 추가 에세이 주제를 발표한다. 본인이 지원 할 대학의 웹사이트를 자주 확인해보고, 12학년이 되기 전 여름방학부터 서둘러 준비를 시작해야 한다. 2-3개의 추가 에세이를 공들여 쓰기 위해서는 100시간 이상이 소요된다는 것을 명심할 필요가 있다.
기존의 커먼앱 에세이와 주요 대학들의 과거 에세이 주제를 미리 살펴보면 대학 입시 에세이를 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 특히 자신이 지원할 학교의 독특한 에세이 주제를 파악하는 좋은 기회가 될 것이다.
커먼앱과 각 대학들의 추가 에세이에는 어떤 주제가 나왔을까?
2024-2025학년도 커먼앱 에세이 주제:
* Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
* The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
* Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
* Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?
* Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
* Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
