After reading a few sample essays from official websites, I felt my own wasn't the greatest. But realizing that I have most of the things you talked about, I feel confident! As I near the end of my high school years, I want to express my gratitude for making the entire college admissions process seem less intimidating. Thanks a lot, really! 🧡
Brooke, I just wanted to say thank you! Without your videos, I probably wouldn’t be as confident in my college list, my essays, my activities list, and my understanding of what ‘prestige’ adds to & subtracts from the undergrad experience. Not to mention my ACT score wouldn’t be as high! So thank you so much for providing free resources and a helping hand for everyone navigating the college process!!! You’re awesome!!!
I'm a sophomore but I wanna learn this stuff earlier. I'm having a hard time bringing my grade up in one class but if I get perfect A's I'll end the year with a 4.28 gpa I think!
Good luck, you're on the right track! But remember that you're more than your grades and sometimes schools appreciate seeing that you worked really hard in a challenging class even if you didn't get the best grade. Don't sweat it too much! :)
@@meganjarrell9079 thanks! I had a 4.0 in freshman but I didn't do very much with my freetime and had virtually no extracurriculars, so I'm hoping to do a lot better this year! Corona isnt very nice though
@@redditstop1653 i graduated with the highest honors (low 4 on the 5.0 weighted system) and got a full ride into a UC school. I dont think my essay was good at all though 💀
As my style of writing, I start off by making the conclusion so that I can finese intro and the body, why? Because it is easier to explain why do you include some things on your closing remarks than to compress the first 2 parts of your essay, aside from that, you can make a strong thesis statement(which matches the conclusion to achieve the "full circle"), and you can also limit your words by doing that. I just learned that from my literature teacher.
My crybaby face slammed into the water as I was reading less than 10 minutes a day about clickbait? My willpower is driving in Kansas City. The End (of my full-circle final essay), but bigger in the future.
My belly button juggles slightly because of a sudden jolt. Was it that time of the month? No. It was that time of the year. My dedication fuels America and I am the reason cancer will be cured tomorrow after you read my essay and admit me. I am amazing. I turned into God and now it’s not about if you accept me!! I HAVE TO ACCEPT YOU!!
For years I’ve watched these videos and now that I’m finally a senior it’s nice to see the comments aren’t years old😂

Hey do you edit personal statements/essays??? I really want you to edit my essay. If yes please tell me how do I reach out to you???
Hey!! I am an international student from India just wanted to know if I need to convert my school marks to gpa Or leave it empty?
As I know, you have to explain the meaning of your grades(for ex. 5=4 etc)
