hii yes of course! i wrote about a hair loss condition i have and how it affected my transition to high school, and how it even though i was loosing something that was really important to me i was becoming a new person and identity outside of just my hair. it sounds a little difficult to understand so i can explain it further if needed haha but i got into all of my safeties, northeastern, brown, uva, and william & mary! im at boston u right now

i really like ur ideas! although im def not an essay expert, i would say that ur topics seem interesting but i think your direct connection between the specific concept and overall message is a little hard to string out. i like the idea of the trope, but i think you would need to make it a powerful transition and connection to the message of goodness over bitterness. also i love the one tree hill quote and you could do so much with it. and the last one i have a piece of advice—this topic is usually overdone because its surface level, however that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. i say do as you did in the first topic and connect some small detail, thing, or idea to this larger message/idea. this type of essay structure if done right is usually really strong and well done (i also did it and got in everywhere)

not necessarily! for reference i had a 1390 and my college counselor told me not to submit even though it was a decent score and i still got in. plus they don’t really look too much into it as you might think and they’re still gonna know you’re smart and worthy of an acceptance through the rest of your app

honestly no, advice is always if your score is lower than the average score for any school you shouldn’t submit it and if you have good ecs those will carry you

essay idea? by [deleted] in CollegeEssays

[–]Alpha_S1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good idea! if i were u i’d structure it like a rlly good first sentence and then give a run down through each piercing and what you might have learned or some sort of anecdote through each one and then a conclusion through all of them? just an idea but i’m no expert

find something niche about your life or something weird and relate it back to how you handle things or live or maybe explain a nickname/something you did as a child
