    for the short essays, would you recommend that they relate to your desired major? or can it just, for example, be any situation that exited you to learn?

    • @ohnoirpodcast
      @ohnoirpodcast  Před 3 lety +12

      I think for the short essays you should really stick with something you genuinely feel excited to write about, whether that be your intended major or an extracurricular or a passion of yours :D Don't make it to hard on yourself and write about something that comes naturally!

    • @ohnoirpodcast
      @ohnoirpodcast  Před 3 lety +8

      I think there isn't exactly a particular "Asian" stereotype (unless maybe you're referring to the model minority concept?), but in general there are a lot of applicants that are similar (in terms of grades, stats, ECs, etc). I'm going to make a video about how to stand out soon :D

    What is the difference between early action and regular decision ?

    • @ohnoirpodcast
      @ohnoirpodcast  Před 4 lety +1

      Early restrictive action means that you're applying to Stanford only early, not any other private schools early (by nov 1st), and regular is later on, its a larger applicant pool

    Your essay was lowkey bad. It was just about academic stuff which you’ll talk about in the rest of your application anyways. It had no flow or narrative
