This summer Megan will focus on different college application essay topics, pinpointing common pitfalls and offering suggestions for strong responses. Today’s topic: discuss a “great” book. 

— Not all colleges ask about books, but this question appears on a number of school’s supplemental essay lists. 

— Don’t overthink your answer; be genuine. There isn’t a right or wrong answer. (Trying to sound impressive isn’t the goal.)

— Brainstorm the “why” part of your answer. Your thought process is a significant part of the essay. 

— Look at your application essays as a whole and understand how this response fits into the bigger picture.
