Be memorable.
The essay part of the application is important because it gives us more insight into who you are and who you want to be. Make us remember you!
Be prepared.
Take time to think about and brainstorm your message. Create an outline, write a good first draft, and edit multiple times.
Be yourself.
We want to know more about you, so be honest and let us into your world. Instead of making broad statements about what you want to do, give specific examples from high school or extracurricular activities. And don’t be afraid to add your personal style and voice to your writing!
Be direct.
You only have a couple of paragraphs to tell us about your experiences and goals. Choose your words wisely.
Be focused.
It's not necessary for you to repeat information that’s already elsewhere in your application. Stay focused on explaining how those credentials and qualifications will lead to a successful future here.
Be professional.
Submitting a sloppy-looking essay with spelling errors and glaring mistakes sends us the message that you’re not serious about Illinois. Proofread your essays and ask your counselor, your English teacher, or a parent to take a second look.
