EssayTalks is a fast-growing platform with one of the largest collections of college application essay examples, tips, techniques, etc.

As we all know, essays are an extremely important part of the college admissions process.

According to a 2018-19 study by the National Association for College Admission Counseling, 56.4% of admissions counselors reported that their institutions placed "considerable" or "moderate" importance on the college application essay when making admission decisions. The report also found that private schools and more selective colleges tended to put the most weight on admissions essays.

Your college essay is your opportunity to share your voice, unique experiences, and perspective, and allows you to showcase your strengths and uniqueness. Admission officers need the essay to better assess your fit for the school. A well-written college essay could tip an admission decision in your favor.

EssayTalks aims to build a platform to collect and organize college application essay and related information including: 

• College application essay examples
• Essay writing tips and techniques

Our mission is to make college application essays and related information more organized and accessible to everyone.

• Present essay and college related information in well-designed categories and a succinct style
• Make essay and college related information accessible through dynamic tagging system and search
• Help students succeed in the college application process by providing essay examples, essay tips and techniques, and advice from admission officers
