Seniors: Stuck on That College Essay?

Writing an admissions essay sounded easy at first: you've been writing essays since the fourth grade! Now, your fingers are hovering over the keyboard and your brain is suddenly...blank. It's okay, step away from the keyboard and take a breather. Millions of students have gone before you and there is plenty of inspiration. Often, most colleges post application essays that they consider to be great examples of what they like to see when they get your essay. So, instead of staring at a blank screen, take a minute to read some of these examples of exemplary essays offered by Tufts University.
