IDK if this will help, but first I'd write about something that interested me. I did all of my essays in school on 'Edgar Allen Poe'.
G'luck!

Introduction, main body, conclusion: tell them what you're going to write, then write that, then tell them what you've written...Be sincere about why you want to go back to college and persuasive about why they should take you...So, before the plan you could brainstorm these points/what you think is connected to the essay, then make a plan from this. Then start writing. It's always the hardest just to start; once you do you might find you have a lot to say!

Good luck with it!

One point per paragraph ... also writing plans helps (as much as I hate to admit it)

A couple of tips specific to THIS essay. They want to know if you are motivated to be a good student and complete the course. So use all of the tips currently listed and in addition make it a narrative of your educational history, present circumstances (why now is the right time) and how this education fits into and will improve your future. Include a long term vision of your future. These guys want to see a driven person with a plan.
Then do us all a favour and tell us how you got on. (My money is on you.)

Well Joe has pretty much hit it on the head there! Very good tip and certainly one I would heed..

May I add the following; it sounds like you have been in already (for some reason you didnt finish) and you want another chance? THat being the case, you need to address that.. mention that you have since matured and have decided what it is you want to do. Mention your level of commitment to your studies and your state your goals.. whatever they may be.. Clearly it would be geared towards a career..

What were the things that made you drop out - supposing you have been to college already..

If you want message me and I can read your draft or discuss your ideas with you - have helped people with applications to university and I would be happy to help where I can..
Good luck! and good for you for getting back on your feet.. its something solid.. - getting an education!

It is lunch time in India. I need to have starters, the main dish and the desserts to end with. What about essays!

Do a chain essay on EP.

Post the topic and then get different authors (EP members) to write a paragraph till it's finished... ;-)
