What is a cover letter for an essay

A cover letter is a one-page A4 essay that a student should enclose with other documents when applying to an institution of higher education. In the cover letter, the student should write about himself/herself, tell about his/her merits, talents and why he/she should be admitted to the course. The admission committee can judge a student’s personality, goals and merits just from the cover letter.
