How about you write about going to school every morning or going to the bathroom? Idk! The best essays are about silly and random things nobody cares about
Hi Harinee I just went through this last year and got into my top choice. Don’t be discouraged!! I actually reached out to thecollegeist.com for essay help and they were super helpful.
Thanks this video helped SOOO much for me brainstorming my essay (yes its my senior year and a week away from my ED and I still didn’t finish it) anyways THANK YOU THIS IS AMAZING
Also, I still clearly remember the day you came to Knowledge Bowl! (it was my birthday XD) I'm glad you felt that experience has contributed to your amazing growth!
this is really good. I am more of a specific detail type of person and I love using word choice is this bad? Also what was your max word limit, and how much did you use?
no me watching this on my sophomore year bc my life is boring + i have nothing better to do than to get stressed out about college apps. but thanks for the video lol.
Hey, Joy. I am actually quite excited about the journey you have been sharing with us in your videos. As I am a Vanderbilt applicant myself, awaiting the decision to come out in a week or so, I would love to ask you if you would be willing to share your scholarship essay with us as well. Thank you in advance.
you're such an inspiration! as an international student, scholarships are still a possibility? I dream about studying abroad, but I don't have a good financial situation. what are the alternatives?
Yes, there are a lot of scholarships offered to international students and if you are not in a good financial situation, applying to certain privates or Ivys will get you a full scholarship.
@@xalpacazeu1332 wow thanks for letting me know!! I don't know if I'm ivy league material, kinda scary to do it tbh, but good to know!!! have a great day :)
I need help..i am self studying for the ap chemistry....i am only using the prep book and practice tests and khan academy..if i understand all the concepts in the prep book..is it enough for the ap chemistry exam
Hi! I got a 5 on chem by self studying. On CB’s website, look through the standards they have for chem. I used that while following through prep books making sure I touched on each concept CB said I needed to know. That worked for me! Good luck
I too am self-studying, but not for exams. If you ever seek books for studies, visit *Open Library* where you can digitally borrow ebooks for free online reading. There, you will find loads of gems for reading. Loads of exam books there too. Membership is free as too digital borrowing.

Congrats 🍾🎉🎊🎈 on the full scholarship. How do you feel about not going to Stanford or Harvard? You will do well no matter where you go to school. Vanderbilt offers full tuition to tilt the decision in their favor. I would not pass up on those universities a second time as you decide where to attend graduate school. Please update us; you have fans.
I was thinking about writing my common app essay about waking up with a stiff neck one week before my Spring concert band audition as my main topic. Then connecting that with getting placed into JV band instead of varsity band the previous year but overcoming that and later making varsity the next year and talking about how I love Computer Science. From your opinion, do you think that would be a good essay topic? Also, is it ok to write about an event that happened during the summer before your senior year?
Hi! I’m no expert but I would recommend sticking to just one of those topics for your personal statement. Also yes of course you can write about a super recent event
me writing my essays during my senior year during a pandemic knowing i cant write about the pandemic because no one wants to hear about it
How about you write about going to school every morning or going to the bathroom? Idk! The best essays are about silly and random things nobody cares about

Awesome essay and tips! Love to connect! Do you have LinkedIn by any chance??
How you get a full scholarship just from the essay you wrote, your gpa must be standout in order to get that right? Nvm just wondering
What was the word count for your essay?
What's your Laptop model?
Please share
