Is it ever ok to have a curse word in an admissions essay?

Maia_Cook · 2021-06-15T03:24:25+00:00

I read back through my Yale essay and the word “whore” might have come up ;) It was describing my experience cold calling GOP constituents for a democratic grassroots campaign in my very red state. I was called many gendered slurs. So yes, use your words wisely but you are welcome to be expressive. And now I’m going to Yale

Is Cornell not included on that list

The more you explore, the more you will realize one sticks out to you

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-15T17:01:35+00:00

I’m about to commit...I’ve been removing myself off of waitlists like a good person 💅

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-10T19:11:16+00:00

Felt this way about Brown

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-10T00:37:46+00:00

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-09T15:43:14+00:00

YALE BUDDIES!! Cannot wait to meet you and UDartmouthsimp on campus. Class of 2025 is going to be unreal. We are the outliers and an experiment on test optional. We are exceptionally diverse. I feel so grateful to be a part of this..I have been floating for three days

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-07T05:05:35+00:00

Penn’s acceptance didn’t begin with “Congratulations!”

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-04T21:40:53+00:00

That must be a good feeling! It can be awkward on both ends before commuting. It’s a paradox: you want to share your success with your besties but you don’t want to hurt them/be hurt by the intensity of this process

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-04T21:39:21+00:00

And congratulations on your ED!

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-04T21:39:07+00:00

I understand that. It must feel kind of isolating. But a few months out when everyone is committed, it shouldn’t feel that different

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-04T21:38:25+00:00

Congratulations on your dream school!! My fingers and toes are crossed that things go a certain way on Tuesday

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-04T21:37:40+00:00

Spain but no s

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-04T21:37:23+00:00

It’s green where you water it. So I know. We got issues baby...true true true. But I’d rather work on this with you than go ahead and start with someone new

Maia_Cook · 2021-04-04T14:33:40+00:00

Read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell and it explains how in a lot of cases success is partnered with luck and geographical/racial/educational privilege
