    I was so lucky to have the opportunity to see Jake Shimabukuro live a couple of years ago, and he played Bohemian Rhapsody. By the way thanks for making this video. I’m still a couple years away from the college app process, but I want to hear what others’ experiences are like. 😊

    Class of 2022 here. I'm a bit late but your ucla & berk essay was really good. Just reading the first sentence hooked me in. I also did debate but did not write about it since most events were canceled. Now I'm waiting for decisions 😬wish me luck!
