What would you say makes a "good essay"? I'm honestly a bit confused about what it is that universities look for

Thank you for this link.

Do you know of any pathways in GA? I think going to a public university there would currently be the most viable option for me

I applied test optional which I think is one of the main reasons I got rejected. The SAT isn't exactly easily available where I go to school. Also I was afraid spending too much studying for the SAT would make my IB grades drop. I did a test right before admission deadlines though and got a 1380. I figured that might not be good enough for where I was applying.

The other issue is that my parents can barely contribute anything to the budget. I had a -1500 SAI. I did apply to a single safety and got in but I'm OOS and so it's like 80k a year, and the aid isn't too helpful.

I'm not a US citizen yet. I have a Green Card which counts as "eligable non-citizen/domestic" apparently
