Hey can u help me please
Amazing hook!!!
Hi Jeffery, I appreciate that you were able to share your common app essay with us. I am a sophomore in high school and is aiming to get into the Ivy League. Can you help mentor me or could we set up a quick zoom call
Sure! Please visit our website: www.elevated.school
I just don’t understand what the difference is between a good essay and a great essay. From this hook alone, it sounds like the essay is about your dad, but isn’t the essay supposed to be about your qualities?
I agree this essay sounds like it’s focusing on his dad but not on him but maybe that’s just the introduction
Actually, college essays are to state why they should accept you or why you are different from the crowd. Tend to stay away from your accomplishments and talk about why you're important to have on campus. Why are you a good fit for the student body, not the academic body.
Mathis is just his intro nothisfull.
I thought the same thing. I thought the intro focused too much on his dad.
what should i put at the beginning of my college essay? it needs to be something luring the college admission to read your essay.
We live in a world where you have to learn English literature to do physics….. what is next?? Get admitted by winning an mma fight?
😂😂😂😂
"Western Michigan University", a doctoral research university with the largest donation in public university history, is the best. If you get admitted they have tons of generous scholarships and they even pay for your internship and in some cases, for your dorm. Vc
