Behind every college essay is a student whose goal is to be accepted. It may be their dream school, a parent’s alma mater, or they may be just applying as a backup option. Whatever the reason for applying, the time spent working on applications is tedious and requires a lot of research and dedication to making it the best it can be. Different college essays require different prompts but most students have a similar genre in how they write it. Students tend to focus on what qualities about the school they are interested in, and what about the school sets it apart from the countless others. Dirks describes this concept as rhetorical location, writing in a specific way based on your audience. Another addition students tend to add in college essays are personal stories or experiences, which Dirk explains as rhetorical situation. This addition that allows the admissions to learn about who they are and gives them a glimpse of their background. <\/span><\/p>\n

In my college essay to USD I made sure to utilize as many strategies as possible. I used rhetorical location when I wrote about how I would feel connected to my Catholic values at USD. This is something I didn\u2019t mention in essays to public colleges because the religious aspect is something that\u2019s special to private colleges like USD. I grew up with Catholic values to uphold to and I mentioned how I would love to be at a school that instills those same values. I used rhetorical situation to explain more about myself and help them to understand a little bit about who I am. I mentioned sports and activities I participated in-such as the cheer and dive team, jobs I have had, and the experience of having someone in my family become really ill and how my family got through that difficult time period. I explained how all these things shaped me and helped me grow each in a different way. Understanding the type of genre that was most persuasive to USD admissions was crucial for my success at being accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
