Tips for Writing a College Application
Letter
● Do your homework. Find out about the colleges you
are applying to. What are their strengths? What are
they best known for?
● Explain why you want to attend this particular
college. What attracted you to it? Try to be specific.
● Highlight your academic excellence. Make sure you
talk about the special qualities you have to offer.
● Feel free to share the unique benefits you received
and qualities you possess because of homeschooling
● Don’t forget to mention any special awards you have
received, especially if they relate to your chosen field
of study.
● Check, double check and even triple check your
spelling and grammar. It would also be a good idea
to have 23 other people proofread your letter before
you send it.
