Genuinely one of the best essays I’ve seen! Congratulations for your acceptance at Princeton! 🐅 My dream is Rice University! You made the playground seem like a best friend who made you be resilient and motivated you to explore your love for math and physics and other things for your academic learning.
awwww I set a reminder hehe! pretty excited!

“work feverishly on fitch style proofs” 🥵🥵🥵 that brought back memories i forgot i had
fr i wrote this at the height of my suffering from fitch style proofs 😔
Loved the essay! Will you share your supplementals?
amazing!!
Sounds like Amy Tan, nice
This is soo good 😆
Ahh thank you so much!
Which common app essay question did you answer for this essay? I feel like this essay fits into a lot of their given prompts so I was curious...
i chose "Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story." i recommend writing the essay first, then choosing the prompt that it best fits-if nothing else, you can always choose the free option!
quick question: are you still offering essay editing through Ad Astra or no? just asking because this video was posted 3 years ago now.
Such an amazing essay! Thanks for giving me such helpful information, will definitely start on my essay soon 😁
thanks! i'm so glad you found it helpful and best of luck :)
Loovvee lovvee your essay✨ brilliant job.
Only in the video the music was very distracting in the way of your wonderful writing.
hey Emmy! could you send a link of a doc that has your essay written so I can see it in full?
thanks :D
hello! i am definitely not emmy but i think she’s not sending a link of a doc out of concern for plagiarism, which is very understandable!
is there a reason why you chose Princeton over MIT? As I looked at your stats I thought you were more interested in math and science I think? Isn't MIT way better for an engineering major?
MIT is really good for engineering! i'm studying math/econ though, and princeton is also strong in those fields. i do have interests beyond stem (creative writing, sociology, policy, etc.) so princeton's liberal arts education was more appealing to me
Hi,
I was wondering if you could read your supplements essays
What do you guys think about using quotes in your essays?
you can definitely write a good essay with quotes, the prompt of my princeton supplement was actually to write an essay based on a favorite quote! i would say that since these essays have word counts, only use quotes if they actually add to your essay. you want most of it to be your own thoughts.
Can I write a common app essay about my life?
I have a question. If I have a similar story and outline, under which prompt do I write it?
you could use the same one i did! mine was "Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, please share your story."
did you have a college counselor to help edit your essays? It was so good🥺
aw thank you!! i only had my sister and a friend edit it for me:)
Isn't there some kind of math competition that your school runs going on right now?
yeah 😃
What was the word count
622 words! the maximum is 650
so this is what you're doing instead of mbmt
i uploaded this last week, i just scheduled it for today >:(
