Best essay I've heard, hands down. It's not gimmicky. It's very genuine and has deep meaning. Beautiful! Thank you!

I’m usually a silent viewer but WOW! I’ve watching countless essay videos on KZfaq and your essay is absolutely sensational. I’m near the end of my application process and I relate to every advice you gave here (I nodded vigorously to all your points 😅). I felt to need to express how insightful this video is :)

"It's not what you chose to write about, as much as HOW you write about it" 💯💯🌟 This is a truly amazing and beautiful tip to help with overthinking and obsessing about having the best story. To instead find the greatest meaning and explanation in anything no matter how small! This is so helpful, thank you!!!😄🙌🏽🙌🏽

oh my god this essay is so freaking good

14:50 woah it’s almost like I’m a human being

This video is so genuine I’m starting high school next year and I have no accomplishments or talents yet and really want to get into Columbia but I feel intimidated cause of all these people with 20 awards etc

although I have already submitted my application, Im here again to watch your video your voice and the manner of speaking make me relax pleaseeeee start a podcast, if no one listen to it I will listen each of your podcasts a million time.

DAMNNN THAT WAS SOOO GOOD. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE AN ESSAY LIKE THAT !!

you have said intimidating many times in the video... But you know what else is isintimidating ? your voice.

And I love your voice.

i loved your essay, It was one of the best things that I have heard in past 5 years. the view count should be at least a million.🥲🥲

This is so well written and seems so heartfelt, especially in comparison to other college essays.

I usually don't comment on KZfaq, but it would be unfair to this video not to comment. It's amazing in every sense of the word!!! for me I am still stuck writing my essay, as if there is a lot inside me that I want to get out and there is not enough space 🥲

The ignorance of Leftists is staggering.

Brutal. Just brutal

Hey, i need your little help

this was so beautiful

Wow. Your writing gives life to your words in a way mine just completely fall short of. I've read so many essays but this is the only one that communicates feelings in the way I want mine to. I see you've closed your fiverr page, but is there any way you'd consider reviewing my essay?

Hi are you still offering your services on fivee? I haven’t been able to reach you

As a writer, that was beautiful. Genuinely the best written essay I've ever heard. So much symbolism and personality to unpack! I seriously cannot express how much i love this work ahhh it's beautiful!!!

I never watched any of these until this week (orientation at my ivy) but lots of people were talking about and sort of wondering what got them in… what about their essay “worked” and it made me curious about it as well. I completed my app and essay with days to spare for the deadline and this was because I originally had no plans to apply for an ivy. But it was suggested so I gave it a go. I wrote my essay in one sitting and edited it for length and clarity over two days and sent it off to do its job. I think it was good… at least I was satisfied with it. I didn’t have any idea what to write about but I researched the school and decided to tell them why I was the perfect candidate based on the culture of the institution. I started with stating I was what they were looking for essentially. Talked about how two of my educators inspired me and changed the trajectory of my life as a student and then talked about the university and how I was a good fit and hoped they’d let me come and study there. I’m a songwriter so I’m used to making few words paint a larger picture. But basically I told them I love to learn, I hear they have dedicated educators and that I think they should let me come learn there. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I know my recommendations were great as well. I mean, I had the right credentials and felt the school was a good fit for me and just told them that. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I think all things bring equal, many ppl have the right credentials to get in, schools are not just looking for people ticking off boxes…. If who you are is the right fit and it comes through in your essay, that’s probably the best way to go.

your first sentence of the video is incredibly relatable to me

I'm Guatemalan !!!

I’m thinking abt writing how me as a African American I feel like I don’t have a culture to truly call my own n how that’s why I’m so fascinated with other’s culture and I live through them In a way but I’m not rlly sure how to convey this in a essay

so helpful

This is a very strange Moment… very strange Dadent indeed

😂 ahh haha what a asphole Go 🇺🇸 👍

The most difficult thing is to put it all in 650 words

You gave me hope that these collages are still selecting students who didn't write about poverty or family problems.

Wow!

this is the essay!!!

How can someone talk about god yet not know Amen have nothing to do with men or women.

Remember Joe Biden had on the side of his bus and said many times, “Fighting for the soul of America” Want to guess which god he serves 👀 Well this congressman just mentioned the god he’s praying to Brahma😳

can someone transcribe this essay

Your essay

Amen is a term that came from the language of Hebrew awomen on the other hand came from a completely different language called Shebrew

Not just the Amen. But the Awomen and the Achildren too.

Writing a great Common App essay can be challenging, but here are some tips to help you get started: Start early: Don't wait until the last minute to begin writing your essay. Start brainstorming and drafting your ideas well in advance to give yourself plenty of time to revise and polish your essay. Choose a unique topic: Don't write about something that has been written about countless times before. Choose a topic that is unique to you and that will allow you to showcase your personality, interests, and experiences. Show, don't tell: Use concrete examples and vivid descriptions to bring your story to life. Don't just tell the admissions officers what happened, show them how you felt and how you grew from the experience. Be concise: The Common App essay has a strict word limit, so make every word count. Avoid using unnecessary words or phrases and focus on conveying your message as clearly and concisely as possible. Be honest and authentic: Don't try to impress the admissions officers with what you think they want to hear. Be honest and authentic in your writing, and let your true self shine through. Get feedback: Have someone else read your essay and give you feedback. This could be a teacher, counselor, or trusted friend or family member. Take their feedback into consideration, but remember that ultimately, it's your essay and your story. Edit and proofread: Once you've written a draft of your essay, edit and proofread it carefully. Check for spelling and grammar errors, and make sure your essay flows smoothly and makes sense. If you need someone to help you write the essay, reach out to me. I also do personal statements and research papers.

You. Wrote. That? I kid you not, I still don't know what the prompt was asking

WTF? And you stupid people keep thinking they have the answers🤣🤣

Genuinely this is the first video that helped me. I’ve watched many videos and they have shared valuable information but it left me scared to start writing because I was conscious of everything I should include. Compiling my list of traits helped me start- thank you so much!
