    Omg Tulla congrats on everything!! You're going to do amazing things at Stanford! ❤ I'd love to hear the essays you wrote for Harvard. I'm sure all of your essays for every school were amazing, but it would be interesting to get a perspective on essays that werent accepted and for you to reflect on what u'd do differently for this school. Good luck in the future. ❤💖

    Thanks the video is great! I just wanted to mention that we don't need to include the names of the authors in the list of books, I talked to a member of the Columbia admissions , and she said- "students often waste space by adding the authors of the books, we usually know it, we read thousands of applications and are trained professionals".

I’m no college admissions advisor and I’m just a fellow senior applying rn, but I’ve seen tons of things about making sure that you have diverse interests and things that show that you’re a well rounded student. However, make sure that you get your most important ones first and then if you still have space def add the ones that might not be so related. Also make sure that you were really involved in the activity and it wasn’t just a throw away. Like I said I’m not an expert so check Reddit and college blogs bc those are really helpful!!

      Thats fine! Common app has 10 different spaces for activities and tons of categories. If one activity doesn't fit in a category, just choose other and use your space to explain it

    Does the essay you write have to be about what you are interested in, major, or could it be about anything ?

      Anything! The best ones usually take a personal anecdote and use it to tell something about your interests or an important personality trait.
