Essay
Tip
Marketing
You!
Your personal statement and application essays are frequently compared
to marketing material. The analogy is a good one. Indeed, many
admissions books talk about "Marketing Yourself to...."
Well let's see how marketers market. Do they use broad general
statements so that they all sound alike? The bad ones do. The good ones
write so that you see, feel, taste, or hear their product. Their copy
makes the product come alive. Not surprisingly, good copywriters
provide an example you can learn from.
Here are 3 tips to help you market yourself during the application
process.
- Don't make broad claims of desirable
attributes; let the reader experience those attributes through your
essay(s).
- Learn from your customers: the admissions
committees. They are telling you what they want to know in their
questions. Answer them! If you want to know what they want to know,
read the questions (along with their websites, brochures, etc.).
- Let your personal statement embody the
qualities you are trying to convey. In other words, if you want to be
thought of as a mature, articulate professional, write like one.
