college essay

College essay's are important because it is the one thing that seperates you from every other person applying to that same college. The person reading it can get a sense of what type of person you are from what you put in it. SATs and your grades show how well you have done in school but they do not what you are really like. The essay can't be very long or drag on about a subject that isn't interesting or that will help the reader understand who you are.
