    Hey guys!! If you notice, I end up using words like 'episode' and onto the next part. If you haven't caught on yet, I'm about to release a FULLLLL online course on essay writing. Looking forward to launching it on the 16th of November!! See you there :) Till then, catch me upload a whole video every single day.
    Edit: Also Dominic Fike is just AAAAAHHH. Gotta love the guy

    Hi Shaurya! Thanks a LOT for putting your wisdom out here because honestly, it’s a boon to have an Indian student, that too someone like you, comment on the application process, makes it feel more “in reach” if y’know what I mean. I seriously could write a long appreciation for your work, especially the Khan Academy Junior Challenge and the “Nostalgic kicks”. On a side note, you be nailing the aesthetics!

    Thank you so much for giving the advice. I also used a day-in-the-life approach for Why Us essay, but I edited the structure and wording a bit to suit my concept of intersection of CS and Music (2 class on CS + 1 CS/CS+Music Club + 1 Specific Music Program through class or club). I also added a portion where I will be answering a few QnA regarding my time at the College. Thank you for the spark of idea

    This is really great honestly, the amount of hard work you've put and how well researched you were. However, I do have a question, when you're mentioning all those very specific details about the professor, are we sure that it will have a impact or give the colleges an understanding how well researched we are, considering that "yes" an admission officer reviewing my essay would be aware of the department their colleague is teaching, but to know the classes or podcasts they're working on? What do you think about this?
