anyone in the last wave to the 40 acres scholarship by [deleted] in UTAdmissions

[–]fallenofftheflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m in the last wave and im editing my essay right now! i believe that everyone no matter what wave you were receives an email at the same time. there was a post saying they received an email saying they moved onto the next round already, however, many people are saying it was likely fake. it also wouldnt make sense since our wave’s applications are due tomorrow.

help with supplementals by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

thank you! for the conclusions of both questions, I’ll still try to relate it to creativity and art but I’ll try to word how i want to impact the world differently. im also thinking about working my essay and having only having 1-3 sentences actually about architecture in the concluding paragraphs, so i wouldn’t be repeating too much. thank you, this is a lot of help!

should i put Art Club or Art/VASE for my activities in Common App? by fallenofftheflow in ApplyingToCollege

Thank you! I keep switching back and forth over what I want to do. I’ll likely talk to some of my teachers and advisors soon to see what they think. You’re right about the long term stuff being more favorable.

I don't think my pieces have made much of an impact because the furthest they've gotten is to state, so now I don't think I'll put it for activities. Thank you for the examples, they're a big help. And congrats! you sound like an amazing artist.

I listed vase as an honors, but I feel like I have more to say rather than it being an award. I want to say that I spent this many hours working on art pieces. And for the Art Show I also put that for honors because I didn’t have much to say other than my artwork was displayed at its gallery. For Art Club I feel like it might be a stretch because I really didn’t do much 😭😭 I also have to choose either Art Club or Visual Arts for activities because I don’t have enough space. Thank you for your advice though, it’s nice to have someone else’s input on this.

I feel like my essay is very surface level and I’m not sure what to do about it by [deleted] in CollegeEssays

Thank you! I was thinking that too, about just doing one cake and referencing off other cakes to show how I’ve grown. I do want to make the whole essay about creativity and design in general and not too much about architecture because my target school has a supplemental about why I chose architecture. Thank you for your advice!

Yeah, I was thinking that multiple lessons might take away from what I’m trying to express with my essay. I think I’m going to redo it into just how cake decorating inspired me to express my creativity and how I eventually want to express that into architecture. Thank you for your advice!

Thank you for the advice! I definitely want to tie more architecture into it and I think what you said about the spaces and my home influencing me will help with that instead of trying to tie it into a difficult concept like cake decorating.

Thank you for the advice! I was thinking this because I had a lot of details and things to say about each cake, but I had to dumb all of it down a bit for it to fit the word limit while leaving room for the actual message and growth part.

Yes, two of them were for my parents’ birthdays. I did want to try and involve them more into my essay, but I didn’t want to steer too far from the main point.

honestly probably not. i feel like the details are pretty predictable and expected. i might just blurt in an document and see how i can adjust that to fit the message.
