@@marystretcher9286 what college did you end up going to? 😂😂
Mine is due in 4 days and I’ve got two essays to write since where I’m applying has a required essay for engineering majors
1. Find an idea
2. Brainstorming aka: timeline of your life & what things changed you and made you who you are.
DON'T search for petty
If you're going to talk about your difficulties talk HOW you overcame them. They want to see your resilience and how you developed as a person.
Don't talk way too much about sports, hobby, mission trip, bad parents, etc. It's overdone
3. Make your essay interesting, something people wants to read
Talk about yourself, like a mini chapter of you and put it all together.
4. Don't waste your word count!
5. Write over the word limit and start cutting it down about stuff that's not important. (Go approx. 100 words over your word count to narrow it down later)
don't be shy read your eraser essay :)
once i hit 1k subs i promise i'll read it
Quon Howery where it at tho??

Just wanna say that your video help me sooo much. I’m actually in my last year of high school in France and I wasn’t hopping a lot about this kind of videos. BUT in fact after watching you video all the ideas came to me(lmao) and actually I’m writing my essay for my (maybe) futur university 🎓🤭! So THANK YOU SO MUCH ;)!!
I’ve watched a lot of these videos & this is the best I’ve seen so far. Very helpful!
me looking this up when deadline is tmrw rip
I’m done with my essay but I still watched the full video. This is some fire content bro, a lot of students will benefit from your tips. Also post some more if you can you’re hella entertaining
"Start early,plan years ahead"
my essay is due in about 19 hours and I just now titled it and thought of a topic
bruh i’ve been watching videos of people reading their essays & people giving suggestions for a week & i couldn’t think of topics to write about. it took me halfway through your video to think of a good topic so thank you, you are elite.
I’m on my third video from you right now, and I’ve been watching because of the content (I’m curious; though I’m going into 9th grade), but mostly because of your personality. You are so funny and the way you edit your face in videos makes me laugh so much. I wish we were the same age because I would definitely want to be friends in school with you lmaoooo
Thank you so much for this. This video does a great job of not brushing over the obvious and saying "great now write the essay" like no shit i need to write about something that will make me stand out, but this video gives leads on HOW you can start (like narrow down a few events that changed your life). 10/10
Thank u so much there is nobody who broke down these details like u

My gosh, I'd completely forgotten about those hand-made (rather inefficient) erasers! Such golden elementary school memories. Thanks so much for your video; as a junior, I found it very helpful. One question: In your other video, you mentioned something about being careful with QuestBridge, and I was wondering if you could make a video on your experience with the program. I've gone on their website several times, but the whole thing is still a bit confusing. Again, thanks a lot!
Living the same lives out here lol.
And yep, I've gotten a few requests to do a Questbridge video so I'll try to make one!

I have never panicked harder in my life
I saw this video with my mom and she got even more motivated (?) to watch over me while I do schoolwork now-
felt that 😔👎🏿
My school has only started telling me about common app six days before it is due for my school of choice.
Same
Loved the video! Are you going to make a college decision video soon?
Yep! Probably sometime soon
you're so helpful omg
damn the parents divorce part... ok this was a wake up call should have realized lots of people do that thanks bro
applications are over in a week... just starting my essay. cant wait for my gap year!
Lol i said “‘night” out loud the same time you did. the tip about the timer is really helpful though!
and that harvard student has to be a legacy because no wayyy-💀
helpful and funny, thanks so muchhh
Yo. I did the same thing with the eraser crumbs. Its oddly satisfying-- especially when you put them under your fingernails.
You should do an AP score reaction video when they come out
literally my exact thought thank you for reminding me
the clay thing blew my mind ngl
not me giving myself ten days to submit my regular decision application 🥴 but thank you, this was so helpful !
1:30 haha laughs nervously in Oct. 19th

Ahh, i hope you see this cuz I’m late late. But I know you said not to write about divorced parents. My parents weren’t divorced, but they separated. My mom had left us without saying anything for a couple months. I remember the whole day that she left. All the times, once she told us where she was, when my sister and I had to drop off my baby sister to her. She would ball her eyes out calling for her mom when we would take her back to my dads. It was a whole messed up story because my whole family knew she wanted divorce, but told her kids instead and asked us to keep it a secret. We tried but he found out and it was the worst day of my life. It’s been going on for three years now, this mess, but there’s some illegal stuff behind it which I won’t speak of. But would this still be a bad idea to write about. You can be completely honest! Thank you for this video
eraser crumbs was creative
I feel like I have a really generic life lol

Just found this hilarious yet very interesting at the same time lol
Hey Quon. Thank you so much for your advice. I had a query regarding my College Essay Topic, that is "my growth from Alexithymia and Bend Down by the societal pressures, lack-of-confidence" to "have my own voice and identity, that is me as a Songwriter". I was thinking of how my cat (who sadly passed away in the 2021), helped me in doing this. What do u think about this topic?
I recommend The College Counseling Specialist for Admissions/Scholarships. He really can help. His office is in Orange County but maybe he could help with the process online too if you live somewhere else.
Thanks bro
i used to make eraser clay too haha
Heyy soo to shortly explain an idea I have for my essay: I want to write about how I overcame welcoming from a pretty broken family with my only biological brother (this is the basic idea but there are other aspects involved)
That sounds great!!
Can u write about sports if it’s not about how u improved after a loss? I had an idea to talk about my experience switching from basketball to cross country and track after finding I was naturally good at it. I talked bout after being happy with the switch at first, but then the drop in my school popularity happened since does not have the “clout” that basketball caused me to lose pride and love for running. I then proceeded to talk bout how the memories and bonds made me overcome these feelings and ended it with me being satisfied at our pep rally when we weren’t clapped as loudly as other teams despite having the best record since I loved what I was doing. I discussed my changing emotions throughout the stories by metaphorically using my habit of writing overly optimistic running goals on loose pieces of paper. I’d describe the aging dull faded graphite marks of time goals on old pieces of loose paper I would when I lost pride in running and stopped writing my goals and then the fine dark sharp lines on new pieces of paper when I initially had or regained my love for running.
Good concept
j came from ur stats vid!!
