Personal Statement606 WordsChallenged a belief, Creative personal story, Diversity statement, Family member’s disability, Issue of personal significance, Role model/inspiration, Story central to identityI have a vivid memory of the first time my six-year-old cousin told me he loved me. For most, this would not be a significant event. After all, family members are generally obligated to love one another. But for (name), expressing his love was difficult, at least in the conventional way, so the first time he came up to me and pressed his mouth to the palm of my hand and held it there was a memory that will always...Read more...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay107 WordsTufts is a place where the two pillars of nerdiness—passion and intellectualism—collide. At Tufts, it’s the norm to talk about everything from politics to Harry Potter to religion (and how all three of those intersect) in the span of one conversation.

I’m not an athletic superstar, and I was never even close to being the best player on the team. In fact, if I had gone back to 7th grade and my school did not have a sports requirement, I probably would not have played soccer. That would have been a mistake. A...Read more...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay255 WordsHaving grown up in a small, suburban southern town, I long for diversity and a completely opposite atmosphere in college. A vibrant city like Boston can provide me with those things. But Boston University is more than just another college in Boston. It stands out to me as a globally minded school with a big picture approach that can offer me exactly what I’m looking for in a college. At BU, I can sit around a table with twenty...Read more...School Specific Advice
