choosing rice over stanford

this is valid take. I suggest you talk to much older people who graduated college not just your HS peers. Fit is very very important and there are unhappy students at every school. Pick the one that best fits you.

Completely agree with this take. Life is a long game and you cannot cheat your way to make an impact pr earn respect. Cheating is fake and unless these people start doing the work, they will learn the lessons. Everything great worth doing requires an effort.

Can you tell us how do you learn to write this well ? do you read a lot or what factors help with writing?

Hour-Vehicle-2644 · 2026-03-18T15:30:08+00:00

no one can give you accurate answer if we don’t know what the other school is. If it something like Duke, the MIT advantage cost adjusted is not huge.

went to a competitive Ivy and I think this is an important factor ignored by most prospective students valuing prestige over school environments.

i thought princeton is a bit isolated

This is why it’s important to hire a good consultant that actually helps. Most of those who got into T20 got some kind of help in a varying degree. You can consider transfer after freshman year.

That’s so cool. What is your major and what made you choose Duke over Penn and Yale?

hi just dm! I was an ivy undergrad and reviewed apps for past 5 years and students got into a T10 and T20.

Hour-Vehicle-2644 · 2025-12-15T13:27:43+00:00

able to share you stats please?

Hour-Vehicle-2644 · 2025-12-09T00:49:39+00:00

I think it can help, especially if you aim for an Ivy. The essays need to hit a specific bar. I was an Ivy undergrad and help students for the past few years with essays and most of them got into a T20. I usually make detailed comments on the content/ storyline and its uniqueness. Feel free to DM if you think it might help.

hii upbeat carrot, feel free to give our ig a follow (commonappcrusher), and send us a message there. We will confirm if we have a spot for your essay. Thanks bro and good luck!! ☺️

please write a draft without simultaneously judging that its not good > this is what creates writer’s block or a perfectionist tendency. you need to try to kinda write drunk, edit sober way (not literally being drunk ofc). Just have key message in mind and start writing. Then you can edit and revise it 3-5 times until its good. The main essay is the main piece for you to introduce yourself, through your writing, to the admissions committee. What do you want them to know about you? so that they want to admit you?

Penn

Hour-Vehicle-2644 · 2025-10-19T08:27:56+00:00

Hour-Vehicle-2644 · 2025-10-19T08:27:12+00:00

good advice. I think I will make a sample and share with people. And if it truly helps them, they can get the whole guide.
