A bad essay topic can have disastrous results when applying to a selective college. While a masterful writer might be able to turn one of the topics below into a strong college admissions essay, all too often these topics harm an application. 1. Your Drug Use Probably every college in the country has to deal with substance abuse on campus, and most people who work at colleges have seen students' academic careers and lives ruined by drugs.

Your Sex Life Yes, sex is usually a bad essay topic. The admissions officers probably don't care whether or not you have an active or interesting sex life.

The Cost of Books Tuition is just one part of the cost of college. College books cost  a lot  of money. Students taking eight classes a year may end up spending over $1,000 on books. The cost of that Introduction to Psychology book is going to be the same whether you're at a community college or elite private college.  Opened My Eyes a Bit no matter what happens, I have an excuse. :) GPA and Academic Preparation Community colleges tend to have open admissions, and the classes are often larger than at four-year schools (this helps keep the price low). In many cases, the instructors at community colleges have more and bigger classes than the faculty at four-year colleges. The result: after transferring, students sometimes find that their work receives more scrutiny and is held to a different standard.

This question is from  Sentence Completion Quiz #1 Directions:  select the answer that best completes the sentence. The student put in a ________ of effort and consequently got a low score on the exam. (a) concurrence (b) modicum (c) multiplicity (d) plethora (e) redundancy Discussion:  This is a straight-forward question if we know the meanings of the words.

Vocabulary: concurrence  - simultaneous occurrence; agreement in opinion modicum  - a small amount multiplicity  - a large number; great variety
