I look in the mirror and see a confident young adult who could take on the world, but I also see the leftovers of who I was before I changed into that person smiling back at me in the mirror. I still remember that timid girl who ate alone and kept books as friends, who gave smiles to people walking by but never received them. I wondered what made me so forgettable, so different that people avoided contact with me....Read more...Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay181 WordsThe whir of my bike echoes off the pavement as I race down West 3rd Street. I hope I am not too late for class—my First-Year Writing Seminar: “Walking and Writing in New York City”—which I find to be a rather ironic title for myself, considering I ride my bike almost everywhere. It’s at an awkward time of the day. The class I mean. But I couldn’t miss out on this rare, very Gallatin, opportunity. Who...Read more...Supplemental Essay Strong beliefs/principles517 WordsWhat is the real meaning of it all? At one time or another in your life you inevitably ask yourself this question. You wonder what those late nights staying up to do homework are for, those seconds before an exam when you crash-study in fear that you will still fail no matter how hard you worked in class, or those miniature meltdowns you have from mounting stress from which there seems to be no escape.

It can be seen and felt with eyes closed. It is as endless as those fluttering thoughts in your head when you gaze off into...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school143 WordsI sit at my desk and open the email I have just received from the Brant Rose Agency. I download the new script they have sent me, take pen and paper in hand, and set to work. I analyze the language, the characters, and the plot in order to craft an accurate synopsis of the pilot. I search for flaws in the show because producers will be reading my coverage, my opinion, to help determine whether they will pick-up the...Read more...Additional Essay Details590 WordsIn addition to all of the supplemental essays, I also filled out the "Additional Information" section of the common application. This is an important place to fill out because it can explain anything you'd like or it can show your personality. I wrote mine about the struggles of overcoming poor health: I’m healthy. The surgery worked. I don’t miss holding tissues to my nose during make up tests for those days I missed school to visit my ENT ...Read more...General Admissions Advice
