Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'd be sharing my accepted Yale supplement essays that covered everything from the One China Policy to Plato to Varsity Blue.
I truly poured my heart and soul into crafting these supplements (the process certainly took longer than I anticipated) but it paid off in the end! If you're a current high school student watching this, best of luck to you - you got this, I BELIEVE in you!!! Anyways, I hope this video gave you some inspiration (please don't plagiarize) :)

Hey there! I hope you're doing well and staying sane during these crazy times. Since college deadlines have been fast approaching, I wanted to start opening slots for my college essay editing/consulting services!! If you're interested, please follow the instructions and fill out the Google form linked here: forms.gle/sy7nSey7XGuojgQj9 Due to my busy schedule during my first semester at Yale, my availability is limited. Therefore, I encourage you to act promptly if you require a fast turnaround for your essay edits. I'm still in the process of editing some videos (they should be ready soon), but in the meantime, I hope you all stay safe, warm, and cozy ;)

Congrats omgg loved your essays so much?? Maybe you can also do a video of you talking about how you worded your extracurriculars and share your personal statement if you are comfortable with it? I was looking into yale for political science and would've loved to see how you approached it :))

Hi Lina, Awesome post. I wish I had discovered your video earlier. My son is applying to Yale. His interests are CS and computational biology. However we are really struggling with these two prompts for Yale. We have something down which is “ not quite “. -What would you tell the admissions that you have not mentioned before. -What inspires you : we have this down to one experience and drawing inspiration from that ( his grandfather who was displaced and still ended up being a mechanical engineer despite his challenges). Any ideas on how we can improve upon the two points above? Thanks a lot in advance for your time.

For the first prompt, I find what is helpful/useful for brainstorming/writing is trying to relate an object (ie: a paper, a pencil, a paper clip, etc) to something that's important to you. It'd be memorable and unique. For instance, you can relate origami to your love for problem solving, engineering, transforming 'simple' objects into functional, visual displays like a paper crane - what's key here is to make it personal to you For the second prompt, it's important to make sure that when writing, there is a throughline, though you are writing about someone else, it's always important to relate it back to yourself. Maybe, in this case, you can discuss the lessons you've learned from your grandfather's displacement and how it serves as an unwavering source of inspiration, awe, or reflection of humble upbringings, make sure to dig deeper, reflect, and ultimately relate his struggles to your crossroads as you approach college, what you want to study, etc I don't know the full scope of the narrative that you would like to craft in your essays thus it's a bit difficult for me to give personalized advice but I hope this helps. If you want more personalized guidance when it comes to writing and honing your narrative, please sign up for my college consulting services: forms.gle/E84cGfTbyTJcwFVp6 Best of luck!

thank you so much for the vedio, can you tell how can i write this prompt "4. What is something about you that is not included anywhere else in your application?" like i want to wite about my amiable behaviour but i don't know what to write. please share some idea.

@linalin8399 11 ай бұрын

Hi there! I can't tell you directly what to write due to a lack of context but I can give you general guidelines for your supplements: - Show don't tell! - Be illustrative (add examples of your amiable behavior, etc) - Think outside the norm (add in some jazz that will differentiate your response from other people, maybe add in metaphors) - It's a process! Draft something, take a break, and look at it again with fresh eyes to refine the response A random example that I just thought up: - "As I entered the auditorium, the air was full of shrieks and shouts as I waltzed my way through a classical dance. It was the culmination of countless days of laughter, disappointments, and triumphs. The moment arrived and I was glad it paid off but most of all, for the audience to witness the flourishing of a vibrant tapestry of diverse cultures." Hope this helps!
