I once brought a friend to 826 Valencia on the weekend and had to laugh at his amazed expression. “When you told me you went to a writing class on Monday nights, this is not what I pictured,” he told me. “What did you picture?” I asked, curious. “A real classroom. You know, with desks and whiteboards and stuff.” “We have desks here,” I replied, pointing to the battered tables. “We have a whiteboard.” I indicated the dry-erase easel covered in...

Supplemental Essay Diversity statement
665 Words
In the winter of my junior year, I applied to attend the Student Diversity Leadership Conference. I’d been encouraged to go by my parents and by my school’s director of diversity, and figured a few days in Houston would at least be an interesting experience. So in December I boarded a plane with nine of my classmates and headed to SDLC for three incredible days. It would be a gross understatement to say that the conference surpassed my...

While I started out my senior year looking at a long list of colleges supplied by my college counselor, my parents, and myself, I ended up applying to only five schools, and I think that was a great decision for a few reasons. First, only applying to schools that I absolutely loved meant that should I only get into one of them, I would still be able to feel proud and excited about where I ended up. Second, knowing that I was truly excited about each of these schools made writing the essays a breeze. I never had to lie...

Why I ultimately chose my school
380 Words
Of the five schools I applied to, I was accepted to all of them. Of those five, some might consider Emerson the least "prestigious" - it doesn't have as much name recognition, or the lowest acceptance rates. But I chose Emerson because it felt like the right fit for me. Emerson is very specific with its programs - communication and the arts is what we specialize in and what we excel at.
