My CommonApp Essay for Smith College

Hello,

I just wanted tips for my essay. I am writing about my mother and how she impacted my transition into adulthood (Prompt #5 I think). I already wrote it down, but I was just wondering if I should do certain things to make the essay better. Any suggestions would be nice. :slight_smile:

i think the most important thing is to make your essay engaging. personally, i find that the easiest way to do that is to make the essay kind of a memoir and write about a specific moment or a few related specific moments.
