Well, this is what i do, i always think of my beginning first in my head, i let the ideas come to me. You HAVE to have a really really good beginning. Once you have a really good beginning written down it really sets up the rest of your essay. Since i don`t know what it is about, i really can`t tell you what & what not to write. Every paragraph is different, so don`t repeat ideas until you conclusion where you kind of review your main ideas. Don't sit at your computer and strain for ideas becuase then your going to come up with a sucky essay. Have a general outline of what your going to write in each paragraph before you sit down at the computer. Good luck ! :)

Write a lengthy essay saying how amazing the university you're writing it for is. Boost their ego as much as possible. They love that. Make sure to include your own life goals and why that university will help you achieve those goals.
You could also write about a hardship you've experienced in life and how it has made you a better person. You could write about all your activities and good grades and explain why you would be a valuable asset to the school's student body.
You're writing that essay because you have to explain to the university administrators why they should accept you over thousands of other applicants. So no pressure! (sarcasm)
Use good spelling, grammar, and use a wide variety of vocabulary. Avoid words like "would," "should," "as," "is," "be," etc. Since the essay is about what you think, feel free to write in first person format (I, me), but NO second person (you).
GOOD LUCK!
