are there any do's and dont's for UC essays?
UC applications - Do's and Dont's?
Good evening :)
I am not familiar with the specifics of this university, but there are some general rules when it comes to writing university acceptance essays.
First, avoid contractions in formal academic writing. They are inappropriate, so make sure you are writing out the full versions of the words you are contracting.
Second, always make sure you completely answer all aspects of the prompt. If your piece ignores one facet of the prompt, it will more than likely get rejected.
Third, stay as close as possible to the word count restrictions. Many admissions panels begin their rounds of eliminations by discarding pieces that don't follow their length requirements.
Make sure you always have someone else look over your work before submitting it. Small errors such as punctuation and spelling can be as lethal as bad grammar.
Hopefully someone else on the forum that has experience with this specific institution can provide you with some more detailed suggestions. Best of luck!
