Hi there! I have been writing poetry since I was 12, and I have a huge bundle of my poetry notebooks, and my stories, I just wanted to ask, how can you add your poetry and stories in your transcript? Because I think it would play a huge role in admissions, it is a part of me, and I want the college board to know my insights. Thank you!
How can we add our poetry writing and stories in our college application?
The best way to use your original poetry is as a quote at the start of the essay. Consider it an inspiration for the reader to get hooked on what you have to say. That usually helps to increase the interest in the rest of your essay. You cannot use just any essay though. You have to make sure that the poetry that you use is relevant to the prompt that you were provided. Otherwise the poetry will not be of any use in terms of improving your writing or may even turn off the reader. Use poetry that you recently wrote it possible. Avoid the childish sounding ones or the trivial essays. If it relates directly to your personality as required by the prompt, then use that instead. Do not use more than one stanza or 2 sentences at the most. You do not want the essay to be overpowered by your poetry.
Hi! That's wonderful that you've been writing poetry and stories for so long. To include your poetry and stories in your transcript or application, you can create a digital portfolio or attach them as part of your application essays. Make sure to highlight how they reflect your personality, creativity, and insights. Sharing this can definitely make your application stand out. Good luck!
