At a restaurant in the middle of Manhattan, my phone buzzes with an impending FaceTime call from my sister. Disobeying a typical dinner table courtesy, I slide my finger across the screen at the approval of my parents. "Hi, sissy-ka-doo," I say to the face that is a bit too close to the camera. "Hi sissy-poo," my 20-year-old sister replies. Our untraditional nicknames stem from a very imaginative past, full of games in which we would pretend to be fairies,...

Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay

The human body is the greatest known example of...

For the University of California application, my common app essay did not fit both of the prompts, so I essentially wrote an additional personal statement. For many of my friends, they were able to tailor the common app essay to a UC prompt and then edit supplemental essays from Private school apps to fit the other UC prompt. My other personal statement was about my experiences being a lifeguard and swim instructor and the effect of community on me through...

Brown freshman excited about math/language/art! I was nervous about applying to selective colleges, as a non-legacy with educated parents and extracurriculars that were pretty normal. But I ended up at my dream school, and I can help you too!
