common app essay that got me accepted to an ivy league school!
i applied to the university of pennsylvania back in november for early decision and i was lucky enough to get in in december!
hopefully, this video helps you guys in some shape or form. if its good, here's some inspiration. if it's bad, you got yourself a great example of what not to do and maybe it'll show you that you don't need a great essay to get into a great school!
feel free to comment if you want me to read your essay and give you some advice! id be happy to give my 2 cents :)
best of luck!

hey guys! im so glad so many of you guys are finding my essay helpful! unfortunately, i decided to stop editing essays sent to me because it's been taking up a lot of my time. i never expected to get so many requests and especially with the school year coming up, i want to focus on enjoying the time i have left up until the fall and getting ready to do my best! hope you guys understand :)

I feel that I'm never going to have that "spark" in my essay. I have no cool achievements and especially with quarantine I have no opportunities. I had so much planned for this year. Re-join track, join the robotics club, get involved in leadership programs, try to create a club with my friends etc. Now, something just as simple as keeping up my grades is difficult. I hate being trapped in this 10 by 11 room

Hey! I hope you're doing better now! My advice is find the one thing that makes you happy and write about it. I don't think colleges are looking for anything spectacular. They're just looking for something authentic. If something has helped you grow into the person you are today- write about it!

awesome. So many are...not awesome. Your essay was awesome. Even the mix of diff sized sentences "...I took a nap" held on to me. The figures of speech, the sounds you used and the central idea...the moment. The moment. Good job! The goal: write something, do many (8?) drafts, yes, follow some rules, yes, show it to someone you trust for help, BUT take the risk. ?Then, you'll be soooo attached to and protective of it, it'll be undeniable. Like, "If they don't like it, I don't like THEM!" :) People: if you go somewhere, to a place you really were, you can take us there too. And we will be moved. About puzzle pieces. Which you thought nothing of until this.

Would it be too much to write an essay on how much you love the topic that you are applying for (as your major)? For example, if you apply for film, you need to submit a short film and other supplemental materials. Would an essay on film be too repetitive?

Like wht factors will determine the topic/thing you should write on
@haleykang8156
@haleykang8156 4 жыл бұрын
well in terms of coming up with ideas, I made a list of things that I personally feel passionate about and tried to focus on themes that I thought would be unique and personal to me. Also, I tried to stray away from anything too academic or related to school because I wanted to focus on showing another side of myself that is totally seperate from stats and ecs. In terms of choosing my final topic to go all in on, there werent that many factors that I had in mind other than what was the easiest for me to write about. I found that the topics I found easier to write on came across more personal and genuine since I had a better personal understanding and experience with it. Dont be afraid to write on things you might think or mundane or insignificant if you find it personally meaningful. thats what i kind of did and i really like essays that have those kinds of topics because i think it has a lot of potential to be more personal and interesting than broad topics. hope this helps and feel free to ask anything i didn't answer fully! gl
