College admission essay writing guide

¶ … Esteemed Admissions Committee at (Name of the Institution here):

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is (your name here) and I am from (hometown here). I am someone that is courteous, flexible, and fully committed to learning and adapting. I have a passion for dedicating long and late hours to my work, especially work that involves caring for others, as I believe this to be my life's calling. My unique mix of previous work experience has assisted me in tackling problems requiring singular performance and focus.

This kind of focus is what I believe is required for nursing school, and subsequently, I am very motivated towards a nursing career. Based on my own family history and numerous stories from friends and acquaintances testifying to the benefits of medical practices, I am firmly convinced that people's lives can be changed for the better. Our health is something which we can not take for granted and we must play an active role in managing our own health care. For me, this reaches far beyond caring for myself. I can not imagine a more fulfilling and compassionate way to spend my life than by helping others realize their own potential for great health. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to attend your commendable establishment, and should you have any questions before you reach a decision of entering students, you may reach me via phone (your phone number here) or via email (your email here).

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

To the Admissions Committee:

I have heard of your establishment by very positive word of mouth and was also very impressed by the professionalism of your website. I have a few questions for you. Do you need more students who are flexible, professional, fully committed to learning and adapting, and flourishing under the new challenges that life brings? Someone with a passion for dedicating long and late hours for the principles of nursing? If so, your search has ended here. My unique mix of previous professional work experience makes me an ideal candidate for the entering class of 2006.

I can assure you that my acceptance will not be in vain. I hope to contact your offices within a week to follow up on the possibility of admission. Should you have any questions before that time, you may reach me via phone (your phone number here) or via email (your email here).
