Hello Esther thank you for all the information you've been sharing. I have a question regarding the personal essay, what do they mean by "in no less than ten point font?" I'm quite confused about it

[@EstherOlabisi]

You’re welcome! It means the font size must be more than 10 points large. Usually 11 or 12 is ok

[@Maryjanee477]

Hi Esther, so are we to write different essays, one for coalition and another for Berea college?

[@EstherOlabisi]

Hello, I don't think you are to write the coalition essay. According to the coalition website, they do not submit the essay to colleges that do not require it (E.g Berea). Source: www.mycoalition.help/hc/en-us/articles/360019638693-Coalition-Essay

[@kalu_precious]

Hi Esther. Trust you're doing fine. My Question is kinda lengthy but i hope you respond 🙏🙏🙏 Please regarding my application to Berea, I'm kinda confused and need your opinion. I just graduated from the university in Nigeria but don't want to continue in this field of study because of a practice common in Nigeria which is applying to a course you really don't want just to escape staying back at home for a year or so due to high cut off marks. So the thing now is, how do i explain my gap year in my application as I finished high school in 2019? Because of the fact you said Berea only accept those who haven't gotten a University degree, i was thinking of not including that i already have a university degree. Do you think it's going to have an effect on my application? I want to apply to Nursing in Berea but scared i might be rejected cause of the university degree stuff and having to explain my gap year if i state i haven't gotten any degree.

[@sirotrs8661]

I don't know how far you've gone with the application, but please don't add that you have attended any uni before your application.

Do I need to write every prompt question before I started writing my essay Introduction paragraph and also Do I need to write like normal essay for many paragraph or I only need my essay to be one or two paragraph only. Thank you.

[@EstherOlabisi]

Hello, I am well, thanks. No, you do not need to write out the questions. You just write the essay using the prompts as a guide. You also cannot have only one or two paragraphs for such a long essay so you use paragraphs as normally needed
