How to write an essay to get priority admission consideration
Candidates must submit a handwritten essay on A4 paper as one of the mandatory requirements when applying for priority admission to member schools of Ho Chi Minh City National University.
MSc. Phung Quan, admissions expert at the University of Natural Sciences (Ho Chi Minh City National University), said: "A simple essay, introducing yourself and why you like the major you choose is enough. In addition, candidates need to add what awards they have, what abilities they have... You should keep it brief."
Sharing about the requirements of the essay, Master Cu Xuan Tien - Head of Admissions and Student Affairs Department of University of Economics and Law (Ho Chi Minh City National University) - said that Ho Chi Minh City National University does not have specific regulations on the content and form of handwritten essays.
However, candidates can state in their essay their abilities that they think are suitable, helping them to study well in the major they are applying for. In addition, candidates can present the motivations that make them choose the major and their plans after graduation.
As a general rule, a handwritten essay is a piece of writing that is written to convince the school to accept you as a member of the school.
"We have read essays about candidates' dreams, personal stories, academic achievements, memories of volunteer work, articles that promise scientific research..., even articles about impressive quotes from a teacher at the school" - Mr. Tien advised.
