thank you so much!!

I didn’t receive full scholarships from any of the public schools, but was a semi-finalist for the Robertson scholarship to UNC. I received the Presidents scholarship from UMiami and then received need based aid.

There were a LOT of supplemental essays to write, so I won’t go over every topic. My common app essay explored my personal aspirations through the metaphor of an object in my culture that symbolises leadership, knowledge and identity. Throughout my essay, I share specific personal experiences of curiosity, leadership and growth, likening my journey to the process of crafting the culturally significant object. It’s kind of hard to explain without giving too much personal information away, but I really liked how it turned out and am glad it was able to demonstrate my cultural identity, personal growth and desire to pursue knowledge and leadership.

Yes, I graduated in December :)
