You already know that the college admissions process is ultra-competitive. Many top colleges routinely reject valedictorians, athletes and other top students - accepting less than 20 or even 10 percent of their applicants.

You've already taken the SAT and finalized your GPA. Now, the only way you can add the personal touch to your application and emphasize what makes you a standout applicant is to write the best essays you possibly can. Remember, college admissions officers aren't necessarily looking for the "perfect" candidate, but the candidate whose unique accomplishments and personality will add to their institutions.

And how will they learn that they should accept you? You guessed it - through your essays. Whether you've got a raw first draft or you're just giving your final draft an extra look, Vault's editors - graduates of top colleges like Harvard, Stanford and Wellesley - will enhance the impact of your all-important admissions essay.
