Admission Essay - the First Step to Become a Student

Most of the US, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain colleges and universities use three criteria to choose the best applicants:

• Your college preparatory work and grade point average (GPA)
• The most respected tests: SAT and ACT.
• Admission/Entrance essays.

As we know from our other topic, “Essay Writing”, it demonstrates your writing skills and ability to organize your thoughts. Every university or college is looking for the best students that will bring honor and prestige after their graduation.
