How do I answer the essay questions on the myUface application?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

The myUface application gives you the opportunity to upload an essay to your application.  We feel this is important because an essay is an unmatched opportunity to demonstrate your uniqueness as a candidate.

There are two sample essay questions we give you:

  1. What do you expect to be the most challenging part of studying in the United States? How will you handle this challenge?
  2. You are the assistant to the president of your country. The president has asked you to prepare a policy brief on an issue and to give advice how the issue should be solved. Describe the policy issue and your position, being persuasive in your argument of how you would handle the situation.

We selected these questions because they are similar to many questions that are included as part of an application for an individual university.  By answering them – and answering them well – you will demonstrate the kind of candidate you are to interested universities.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that you take the time to write and upload an essay.  At the very least, it will be good practice!

And remember, the myUface blog has a lot of advice about how to write an essay.  Check it out, and don’t forget to send us your questions at blog@myuface.com.
