Write the essay first and then go back and do the intro. After all the intro is really away of saying 'this is what the following essay is going to tell you'. How can you know that before you write it?

Plus, when I am on word 1101 of a 1500 essay it is a comforting thought that I still haven't done the intro or the conclusion. That I can pad them out to make up the wording.

On college application essays: Always somehow use the essay to say how important getting into that particular school is to you. Don't make it too pathetic but when I was applying to University back in the states ( I went to Northeastern in Boston before moving to the UK..almost *finally finished*) I did that and got accepted into all of the schools to which I applied. On the other hand, if you have the grades a slightly wonky essay isn't going to keep you out.


Essays..get use to them. I have been writing two a month for 5 years now. Have a 18,000 word project to look forward to next year.
