본인이 글 쓰기를 매우 잘한다고 할 수 있는 학생은 얼마나 될까? 에세이 정도야 쉽게 쓸 수 있다고 생각하더라도 그것이 대학 입시를 위한 중요한 에세이라면 몇시간만에 대충 써내려가는 글로는 안된다. 에세이 한 편을 쓰는데 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하다.
그만큼 많은 학생들이 미국 대학 지원 준비를 하며 어드미션 에세이 작성에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 미국 대학 지원을 위한 에세이의 종류는 크게 두가지가 있다.
1. 공통 에세이: Common app 또는 Coalition이 주는 에세이 주제 중 한가지를 선택해서 써야 한다.
2. 대학별 에세이: 지원하는 대학이 별도로 지원자들에게 요구하는 부가 에세이를 써야 한다.

대학별로 부가 에세이는 1개에서 많게는 3-4개씩이나 되며, 길이도 각각 다르다. 즉, 대학을 여러 곳 지원하면 그만큼 에세이 수가 늘어나고 부담도 커진다. 만약 대학 10 곳에 지원을 한다면 에세이 수가 20개 가까이 될 수도 있다는 것이다.
그러나 어떤 대학들은 부가 에세이를 따로 요구하지 않는다. 이 대학들의 리스트를 알아보자.
