How to Write a College Essay That Stands Out at the University of Georgia—and Beats the AI Bot

The University of Georgia asks this year's applicants:


“Please share a book (novel, non-fiction, etc.) that had a serious impact on you during the transition from middle to high school. Please focus more on why this book made an impact on you and less on the plot/theme of the book itself.”


You’ve got 350 words. Not to summarize the book. Not to show off your vocabulary. But to reflect—honestly and personally—on how one book helped shape who you were becoming.



This is not a trick question. It’s an invitation to share a turning point.
