7:20 on a Monday morning. I sat on my stool behind an untouched lump of clay, dumbfounded. A wave of anxiety washed over me as my eyes darted around the room. Everywhere I looked, fingers danced through clay forming intricate doors, roofs, and windows; but not mine. My fingers were stuck tracing the sentence over and over again. “Create a sculpture that represents your home.” I repeated it under my breath. “Home”— a word that I had called out thousands of...Read more...Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay273 WordsI stand at only five foot six— which is probably why I’m obsessed with tall buildings. Having a body that doesn’t quite size up to my personality and aspirations, I’ve gone through life with my head tilted back; looking up for my spot among city skylines.

I had her for two years, and she was my student government advisor as well. That way, she knew I...Read more...What I’d change about my application process235 WordsI am very proud with how I handled the application process. I started in August, and filled out all the tedious common app information. As soon as the senior school year started, I asked teachers for my recs. Then, I wrote my personal statement for the common app. This essay took me a whole month because although I had the general idea of what I was writing, I had to...Read more...Recommended summer activities during high school and college209 WordsMake sure you do one big college-application-worthy thing every summer. Yes, everyone wants to enjoy their time off, travel, and relax, but you have almost 3 whole months! Many of these activities are only a week, and they can greatly improve your chances of getting in because they show that you used your time off wisely. One activity that I recommend is...Read more...How I chose schools to apply to160 WordsThe very first thing I did was look at several ranking lists for undergraduate programs in my major. The architecture program was what was most important to me, so I really looked at schools in the top 10 or 20 in the nation. After that, I made a list of...Read more...High School Performance
