Hello
Write a book, but don't "sell" your essays. That's just wrong and should get you expelled from Princeton
@@m.c.n.8738 what on earth are you on about
Please review my UT Austin essay, please I'm begging you this is the only great college I am applying to and so I cannot afford to fail. ( www.collegevine.com/essay/d65cef26 )29
@@edsradio5817 I'm not going to sign up for an account to read your essay, but I would recommend using Grammarly.com.. in the first paragraph I can notice some grammar mistakes. And maybe try something like "knocking interrupted the usual sounds of my HVAC heater". Another thing, try to show not tell what is happening. But from the first paragraph, those are my main tweaks I'd advise you to do. Of course, I'm not an admissions officer, I'm a senior as well, but yeah. Also, try to get an English teacher to look at your essay for you! And try to not have your essay on a public forum like that, it'll be marked as plagiarized.
The reason I liked your Essay:
- It's highly personal
-tells about a defining moment that looks honest
- Well structured
-Basically an essay written in very simple language yet keeps the reader engaged.
Thumbs up man, than you for helping me write my own essay.
When his GPA is also 5.065, he was the valedictorian of his class, SAT Score 1570, and ACT 35 and he traveled the world and have a lot of experienced in his passion(yes this is a dramatization, but probably still accurate lol). Meanwhile, I’m a poor potato looking at UA-cam videos understanding why I ain’t shit. I wish I could find my passion for something 😶
Deandra, from your comment it seems like you’re pretty good at writing & making people laugh 🤷🏽♀️ Just a thought.😁
True
same lmao i'm just going to community college
hes just sharing his experience!
Tae Tae it's taking Honors, AP, IB classes, they are worth one more point than normal classes
FINALLY, someone that puts an image of their essay while reading it! I’m a very visual person, so listening to someone talk is not really how I best absorb what their saying. THANK YOU!

For real
This is why I can’t watch tv without subtitles 😂
college app season ‘20 babyyy
I’m terrified of what’s coming
good luck y'all
how’d it go??
you don’t need some cliché mission trip experience to write an amazing college essay. it could be about literally anything, as long as you can relate it back to yourself, specifically, to your identity as a whole. my best friend wrote her essay about learning to ride a BIKE and its representation of herself and significance to her life, and got into Vanderbilt as well. i wrote my essay about my fucking hair color and got into 15 of the 16 colleges i applied to. my point is, you don’t need to have some ground-breaking story to be set apart from other students. the significance and meaning behind a story and its relation to yourself is definitely most important. in fact, at my school, we’re encouraged to steer away from those cliché stories, because honestly, EVERYONE is writing about their freaking mission trips in attempt to get into college, whether they happened or not lmao. and personally, i feel as though the significance of these trips is lost when the intent of it is to make yourself appear more qualified on a common application. just my word of advice. good luck applying to colleges & don’t stress too much
thank you
I love this comment. Thank you, Hannah.

Thank you so much for putting out this content!! Listening to your common app essay and thinking about my own make me think it’s a not unique essay. As a current senior who is applying to college in like 2 weeks getting all the help I can get from my peers and outside sources is a blessing! Thank you once again for putting this out for your viewers!
I love the colors in this video. Good job!
This is great. I would love to hear more of your writing professionally!
Congratulations on your acceptances!!!
This evokes so much regret and sorrow I can’t even watch it. A shoutout to Common App: I hate you.
Sojansetly lmao nice
RELATABLE. Sending hugs 🤗😂
I know what you mean, feel like slapping my younger self. But we're still relatively young, we still have a shot if we can seize the opportunity.
I’m a sophomore in high school and came across this vid. I’m not writing any college essays soon but these tips will definitely help boost my typical class essays. tysm 💓💓
I was searching for tips to write my grad school application essay and found your video. I'm so glad you took your inspiration from my country to write your essay ❤ You did it wonderfully :) BTW, this was really helpful. Thanks a lot!
Have a day to write the essay... I'm an international student so I actually didn't realize how important it was. This will be an interesting evening and night
Hristina Nikolic RIP. Hope you did well!
Daniel Jackson It actually turned really well. I like how it sounds. We'll see what admission officers think.
please update when you get the answer!
Just decided to apply to Penn and deadline is January 5, sooo I have to write 2 additional essays 👏👏👏 for me 😂
Let us know when you get an answer maybe
LOVE all the subtle flex😂it’s such a good essay and actually sparked an idea for mine. So thank you.
thank you for posting this, it help me so much on my writing my common app essay
This has inspired me soo much! Thank you
I loved your essay. Yours is the third one I was watching to on UA-cam and the only one I liked. Others (successful essays from Harvard students) felt too pretentious, filled with pathos and even a bit fake. When I was reading/listening yours it felt sincere.
And I loved the beginning. To write about a camera as you write about someone you are in love with is very cute and very touching.
your video was showed in my English class today!
Wow . I loved it, very inspiring and this really helped !
This is so helpful 💗 I’m currently doing my Common Application!
Commendable piece of writing, loved it.... I got so engrossed in listening
I found this helpful! Thanks!
Congrats and best wishes on your creative pursuits
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, I was lost , I had no idea what to write about .Thank you
im impressed! well done. u rocked the application :))
Damn this made me realize how much I over thought my application essays. This was so cringe but it actually worked, nice job.
I have no idea how college application in other countries work. This is very insightful. Thanks for sharing.
OMGGGG HES TALKING ABOUT MY COUNTRY AHHHH
This makes me so happy 😭❤️
I was born in Ecuador and came to the United States a couple of years ago. I learned English and now I’m a sophomore hoping to get into Princeton as well.
(Sorry if my grammar wasn’t the best ;-; I still kind of struggle with grammar errors)
Yurrrrrr
Why is no one talking about how the video ended???
Words limit
he said copyright issues
@@OwnedSoda13BBH it's a metaphor (I know it's not actually don't kill me)
Great vid man.
Somehow you are with me every step of my college process you’re like the top video for everything I look up
it's the algorithm
Such a great essay. You have a bright future. Good luck! Not sure why I watched this I graduated college years ago lol
I love your sweater! :)
Wow this is good!!
Thx for ur vid
Just subbed!! Can’t wait to see more videos although we don’t share the same major I find your style of videos very interesting and fun!
this was really helpful
I just got into my top college (not Ivy League level, but it has a v good program for my major specifically). I wrote about reawakening and being co-president of a high school outreach group, how my four years of leading a student led organization influenced me on my perspective of the world, tied that down to why I want to pursue a degree in film/communications, and how I will make a difference in the world. I'm willing to give out my essay to just a few people (4), so hmu if you want another example to help you in the application process! (:
that sounds amazing my email is ejxiang@gmail.com :) i’d love to read your essay
what did u get into?
Richard Yu So far Ithaca College (
Hi! I’m an international student and I really want to read your essay!
Can ya send me your essay? Theheroofmc10@gmail.com
Hello I’d love to read your essay!! my email is adnamoha123@gmail.com
BRO ECUADOR IS BEAUTIFUL, that’s my hometown and I’m writing about the andean mountains and the hovering clouds. Blessings from jersey
I need this bundle because I want to take my essays to the next level. I want Ivy League schools to be impressed and I think looking at the work of someone recently accepted will help me do just that. I think I need this bundle because it will give me a place to start and direction so that when I encounter new prompts I will not be hesitant. Thank you for putting out these videos; I will step my game up from now till university!-
I followed on IG, not sure how you check but just putting it out there xD
Lol buy my essays, I’m 1000x more relatable and got into every school that I applied to (UMich, USC, Michigan State, Princeton, Brandeis, Brown, Emory, Dartmouth) except waitlisted at Tulane
Thank you so much for the video and the giveaway opportunity!
Working on my essay right now for Common App! My school is forcing us to finish it by the time we return from winter break, which is in 2 days!!!
I’m a junior and I’ve been working hard for the past two years on my grades but I know that the app is really important and I don’t know how to connect my spike to the rest of the app so I hope to learn how you did it. Love your videos!!
Muntu Munaf keep in mind it doesn’t have to be connected to a spike. Just remember that your app shows the admissions officer WHO you are. Because yes photography works. It what made his app special was the depth of the relationship going as far as giving the camera a name. I wrote about socks and sandals and how I use them as my icebreaker as well as how they push me to be more extroverted. I’ve read essays about how someone did the announcements at his school for two weeks and changed the way the announcement were made. One girls wrote about how Costco driver her curiosity. Another wrote about how living in a bad neighborhood shaped how he wanted to get out. It’s all about YOU and what makes YOU different even if the thing you do ( running, origami, photography) isn’t special or specific to one person.
Amal Hayat appreciate the reply I am searching for the best way to answer the prompt and advice like this helps. Will try to look for unorthodox ways to express my stories
Amal Hayat and I’ll try to find the most unique thing about me and let that shine through
Hey Nic! I was looking at your resume and noticed you're pre-law. I would love a video about how you're planning on taking your passions of photography and music to the legal field!!! Thank you :)
I really need a good opening statement, have been trying I come up with one for weeks.
great motivation for me to finish my supplementals :0
I guess I’ll try finding what I like in the years up to college
Uwu i love when a video ends in the middle of a sentence
Your attention grabber is so good!!! And original
Me and my ignorant self before watching the video: lmao how good can it be lol
Me after:
Thank you.
I'm from Ecuador. 😂😂 Thanks for sharing this :)
this is mastery holy shit
hey! i’m currently a junior, and i’m hoping to find some help with writing college essays in the near future. i have some stories in mind, but i’m not sure how to execute them.

Are there any legal problems with sharing access to essays? I'm done with my college apps and got into my dream school, and I wanted to share my essays too. However, I feel like colleges might have a problem with kids sharing their essays... Did you ask Princeton before you made this video/shared your essays?
During a college essay seminar I attended recently the speaker told me that it is usually fine to share your essays but it’s best to wait until after the entire acceptance process is finalized just to be completely safe. I think you should be fine but if i were you I would wait until officially enrolled to sell them. :-)
ARPIIIIIII
I’m a senior in highschool and I’m gonna do advice videos but for now I have some supa fun vlogs! I LOVE this though!
Thank you so much for putting this out there for us! I am a senior currently stressing out about my college application. Northwestern and Vanderbilt are two of my dream schools and I really want to know if my supplemental essays are up to their standards. Also I don't know if my topics are unique enough and I hope to get inspired. It would really mean the world to me if I could get your help through this bundle ❤
Yiran Wu Ayy I’m working on Northwestern, Vandy, and JHU rn too! Good luck!
You too!!
@@yiranwu2930 update?
Hey Nic! I recently got deferred from an Ivy League school but it's okay since it has opened my eyes to other schools. Can you make a video on what you did after you were deferred? Should you contact the admissions office or take any extra steps? Thanks
What application did you use to create your resumes?
Followed and liked, olalala love your videos!
I love your videos, yet this one got cut short at the end though haha
Im currently going to be a sophomore in high school this fall. I wanted to ask you what are the things I should prepare for and research now so that I’m prepared and hopefully get into an Ivy League School?
What SAT score range should you be in to get into a UC? I don’t want to rely on the score but I know mine is low.
thank you
Who’s Candice 😏
Princeton is my dream school
:) thanks for sharing
Where's the special surprise that I'm not gonna wanna miss??😩😩😩
You..sound so perfect.
Where did you find a bunch of successful common application essays?
hey nicolas,could you bother telling me what i have to do if i want to get admission in princeton though i havent had much of any thing throughout my highschool i am not a us citizen neither canadian i am from a little nation in south east asia ,nepal,(you might not have heard of it.)never had much to say had good grades in 10,11,and now in 12,trying to excel and come to princeton.although i am good at physics and probably maths i havent won any national olompyad or sort like it.
Actually I'm from Ecuador! Im glad you liked me country
This video saved my life
Nicolas, you want to read my essay before January 1st?
Bruh it's cool to maybe look at your essay as a guide but I have to put in some minor edits too lol
Is there a way you can post this essay to be used as inspiration?
Do Princeton ,Haward ,MIT ,Yale have need blind admissions and Provide full ride scholarships to it's Masters students too?What is the maximum Schoolership that could be grab in Masters level in these university?
thanks a lot
I know it’s a dumb question, but that question do you answer in this video? Or it is just a free response of what ever you want?
Did you submit art portfolio? Since photography was one of your spike in whole application did you consider submitting art portfolio as a backup of those activities? I’m also photography enthusiasts and common app essay is about photography but im not majoring in arts. Will submitting portfolio make any difference?
“A surprising ending”
Hey Nic would you be able to read my essay for rice? I'm a little unsure if it is good?
Someone explain what this essay is? I am in Canada and didn't have to do this to get accepted into univeesity. Is this mandatory in the U.S on college applications?
That ending tho
You can’t apply to UC Berkeley from the common app. So that makes me a little suspicious about his entire claim. The UC app is an entirely separate application with 4 personal insight questions that cap your words at 350-450 words.
I liked this video before i heard him read anything, because he's so dreamy lol
Did you use the same essay for all your colleges you apply too?
u have an insane photography National Geographic award thing... yes I understand it was just this essay that got you in
3:30 that’s what I do lol
Hey I am currently very stressed about writing my college essays lol and I have a quick question. I feel that my passion for science and learning is probably the most defining part of my character, BUT I don't want my essay to seem broad, cliche, or like I am just trying to impress the college! Do you think if I told the story about the time at a science museum when I realized how excited science made me that this topic would be specific enough? Btw I wrote a full essay this morning about how adopting a positive mindset has changed my life then trashed it bc I know that is too cliche hahha helpppp. This was a very helpful video btw!!
Taylor Mari I was just thinking the same thing because I’m writing about something similar but don’t have that many experiences to make everything seem genuine enough I don’t know what to do lol
Sounds like a deal should have done it earlier though most of the deadlines are up.
Did the vid get cut iff
THAT ESSAY IS THE BEST EXAMPLE FOR PEEL
College app class of ‘21 wya 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sadly I’m still a freshman in highschool
Fuzzy Dreamer
*Luckily
You have so much time to plan things out
props to you for researching already
Trust me, it felt like it was just yesterday that I was a freshmen watching these types of videos on UA-cam and thinking i had tons of time. Now I’m a junior and it feels so much better being prepared while a lot of my peers are struggling and confused. Don’t stress yourself but definitely start now! :-)
Fuzzy Dreamer It sucks but you are so lucky!! Please please please don't ever let your GPA drop. You will hate yourself later if you do lol
Cindy thx for ur comment I will keep it in mind
When i looked at the website it looked like u had to pay to go onto that photography trip
