      I learned about problem solution ratio where solution should be at least 50%, make unique flow. punctuation, ending should be cohesive, use full circle effect, connecting the beginning

    Hi Kevin, I can't the comment to reply under this video so I am putting it here only, I hope you will notice. It helped me to learn the importance of balancing PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS aspects in my essays, using specific and unique details, crafting a distinctive voice, connecting the beginning and ending to emphasize core themes and keywords, demonstrating intellectual curiosity and personal growth, and providing context for acronyms. This is I think I learned from this video.

    Honestly this was a really great video!
    As a student who goes to an extremely small school, (we only have 5 students in the senior class) this helps me a lot especially since classes are no longer taken seriously either.
    Thank you for lending a hand unto others who are not as bright as you are. It makes me want to push for a better experience. Thank you.

    Hi Kevin!! I'm an international student and I've been struggling to put together my Common App essay, but your videos are SO helpful!. This particular video really helped me understand the problem I had with the eureka problem and the problem-solution ratio. Your advice on how to end the essay was really helpful as well and I will definitely implant it in my essay. I would love to hear your input and take on my essay! I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but given the fact I have no one to help me with my application (it's not very common to apply to US universities where I live), it would be extremely helpful if you could take a look at my essay

Send them to essay@elevated.school with the subject line "UA-cam Review" for a chance to have your essay analyzed on our channel! If you are comfortable having me workshop your common app essay in a UA-cam video, I would be more than happy to do it completely free for you (we will anonymize your names of course!)! 😊😊😊
