Assuming you know the proper layout for an outline, some of the ideas you could address are - grade requirements for entry, location, extracurricular activities available, size of student body, available activities in the college town, reputation of academics at the college, jr. college versus four year college, graduate study available, scholarships available.  Hope this helps!

I used to type outlines for each of my classes.  Mostly class notes and some book notes.  For professors who stress the readings more, you can base your outline on the major concepts in the book (the table of contents is a good outline for starters).  Its a lot of work, but it always paid off for me!

Get involved in your community! Join clubs and volunteer. Also, keep a decent GPA of course and score well on the SAT/ACTs. However, community and organizational involvement ARE important. Your essay is also important. Colleges DO read them!!! Rather than trying to be an "individual" in your essay, try to be a good writer. Write truthfully, and address weaknesses on your application in a personal statement. Also, contact the colleges you are considering and ASK what their entrance requirements are and if they have minimum scholarship requirements, etc.

I still rely on one single thing to help me write the best possible essay I can . . . an outline. See, the problem with most essays is that the content is disorganized. You may have great ideas and facts that you want to write about, but somewhere during the writing process you start mixing them up. Suddenly your perfect paper sounds all wrong and you want to scream! I've found that the best papers I've ever written (meaning my A papers) have all started with a good, solid outline. Once you have an outline down, your paper writes itself. Your thoughts are organized and the teacher can understand your main point (which is your thesis) and how you supported that point. A focused paper is the key to writing a good essay. Here's the format for the outline I usually follow:\n\nI. Topic / Title\n\nII. Introduction of Essay\nA. Write a few sentences that lead into the main point of your essay\nB. End the paragraph with your thesis statement (3 main points you are going to support)\n     1. First point in thesis\n     2. Second point in thesis\n     3. Third point in thesis\n\nIII. Body of Essay\nA. Topic One - First Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\nB. Topic Two - Second Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\nC. Topic Three - Third Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\n\nIV. Conclusion\nA. Write a few sentences summarizing your essay\nB. Restate your thesis and how you proved your point\n\nOnce you fill in the blanks to this outline with your topic and information, the rest is easy! Make sure to check your spelling and punctuation, and then you're good to go!

Here is one college that has a "format" for people to follow so it can give you some idea of what to put in it.  Not quite what you need, but maybe it will help.\n\nhttp://www.westmont.edu/departments/premed/forms/declaration.pdf#search='letter%20intent%20medical%20school'\n\nIf you give me a few moments, I will try to find you some others.\n\nThe below webpage does letters for a fee, but it does have some sample of different kind of letters that you can review for free and get an idea. \n\nhttp://www.essayedge.com/promo/samplework.shtml#medical\n\nHere are some websites that have outlines what it should contain.\n\nhttp://www.writing-smart.com/how-to-write-a-letter-of-intent.html\n\nhttp://www.medaille.edu/careerplanning/cover.asp\n\nAs I search the net I will post what I find.  So check back now and then.

The other answers were valid and good advice.  I would add that you should critically look at the short paper and see if you could outline it.  If your points follow smoothly you should easily be able to create an outline from what you've written.  If you can't, maybe some re-organization is in order.  As a last thought for you, the adage "tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you told them" will make sure you have a beginning, a middle with your information, and a summary (beginning and summary can just be a short sentence).    Since your essay is short, I've included a link to a short article speaking about seven steps to writing a good essay.  Good luck.  Hope you get an Excellent written in red across the top!

Asking us to write your college admission essay is not a good idea.  Instead, search the net for tips on how to write a good essay.

in the first paragraph, introduce the piece. make a brief statement about everything you will cover.include a thesis statment, or a sentence that sums up the whole piece. you should have at least 5 paragraphs. in the middle paragraphsm go over specific parts of what you are trying to say in great detail. example-if you are writing about a musical, you might have one paragraoph where you explain the plot, one for actors, one for songs, etc. in your conclusion, you should remind your reader of everything they learned and repeat the thesis in slightly different words.

First choose a topic about school that you would like to write about.  Jot down ideas about that topic.  They don't have to be in sentences.  Think about how the rhythm of a sonnet goes, and begine putting things together.  \n\nHere are a few websites that might help you.  A couple of them have sonnets about school (don't just copy them).  Use them to help you write one of your own.  I think you can do it!\n\nI hope this helps.

I was in the same position as you. I was the first member of my immediate family to graduate high school and go on to finish college. There are a few things you can do. Have one of your parents go with you to a college fair. They hold them at large convention centers and many different colleges send people to pass out information and talk with people about the college and some of their programs. If you're interested in looking into all 3 of those areas, I would recommend a liberal arts college. You could take class in art, writing, and communications. Once you narrow down your search and have found a few colleges that have strong programs in one or two areas of your interest, contact the Admissions Office and set up a time to visit the colleges with your parents to experience what life on campus is like. Spend the night with one of their student hosts if you can. Being a former tour guide, I recommend trying to do this in the autumn or mid spring. (Unless you're looking at colleges somewhere warm.) While you’re on campus, sit in on a class, meet with a counselor to discuss financial aid/awards, the programs you're interested in, and how you could go about molding your college experience to fit your needs. If you're not sure about the size of college you're looking for, tour a big one and one smaller one. Each school will have a different personality, and this also will differ with size. There are perks to both. Make sure to take notes after your visit to remember impressions and thoughts of your tours. One of the best things you can do is open yourself to letting your parents aid you in your decision. They will remember things that people said, and help you keep track of everything you've seen. You will feel very overwhelmed throughout this process and it's good to share this with your parents. They have it in their best interest to help you make the best decision you can. You will end up applying for multiple schools, so be sure to keep track of your due dates for applications and essays and such. If you narrow down your search to 2 schools, go back and visit a few more times if you can. Meet with professors you would be working with. I know in studying the arts you sometimes have to turn in a portfolio of work before being accepted into the program. This sometimes results in an in-person interview with faculty members. Know what to expect and keep in contact with the Admission Offices if you have any questions. \n\nAnd don't be afraid to take a year off if you're already in your senior year and need more time to find a good place to go. Take classes at a community college and pick up a part time job or travel or something while you take the time you need to find the right fit for you! \n\nGood luck! Email me if I could be of any more help!

Use an old paper that you got an A on and turn it into a speech.  I did this often in my speech class... I'd take an essay I had to write for english (with a good grade) and make a speech out of it.  Chose something you feel passionate about (this is important - because if you get lost during the speech, you can say anything that comes to mind)... write up an intro, three points, and a conclusion.  Simple.

The first thing you have to do is to make an outline, then start writing on each point, adding support sentences to your topic.\nAny essay begins with an introductory paragraph, at least two body paragraphs and a conclusion. Another thing if you does not have enough information about the topic do some research could be in interesting for this topic it would be int resting to know the point of view of a few people different ages I suggest
