This is my common application essay that I used to apply to college! To the (few) people who have been asking me for this video, I'm sorry it took so long- I got a little too caught up in the visuals.
Please leave any questions you have in the comments & I'll answer them in my next video :)
Disclaimer: I am in no way saying this is the perfect or only example of a college application essay (because it definitely isn't) but it did "work" for me in that I think it played a decent role in helping me get into my dream schools. But, again, the college application process is so unpredictable you never know.
