theswizzlerbruh Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I need some help on how I should write a college essay.

My main question is whether I have to make my essay sound like what i want to study? Like do I have to make my essay sound "engineer-ish"? If you want, I can give you the essay to read it.
