How much information is too much in admissions essay?

Your essays should be about things that will make the adcoms want you to be a student at their college. Your essays should not be about subjects that might make them second guess that you are a good match for their school.

I understand why you want to write about these things…but what positive happened that now enables you to consider applying to college. In my opinion, write about that.

We also have a service on this forum where folks will help you with your essays.

Maybe do a draft and have a reader give their honest feedback. Actually…you might try a couple of different essays and see which one the reader feels rises to the top.
