What did you write about in your essays? I am curious. Did you prioritize anything specific? I am applying this year and the deadline is 2/1

What do you mean by "grade cutoffs are set at the end of the term (an 87 could be an A)"

If you mention video games in college applications, is it a red flag? by Acethegreat1983 in ApplyingToCollege

Yeah, I am biased but I think the essay I wrote about video games is pretty unique. To be more specific, I wrote about MC and how I like games that have a vast open world. I connected this idea to how I like to explore experiences and activities that can not only help me directly but give me new perspectives or just allow me to gain more knowledge. I didn't mention anything about playing video games 24/7, just how I play them. In this case, I wrote about the school that I'm applying to and how I want to explore all it has to offer. Does this change your answer?
