I am not a lip gloss kind of girl. I haven’t been for a long time. In my unfortunate years of junior high, when school was ruled by five foot divas in Hollister tank tops and Abercrombie jeans, I loved lip gloss. I thought it helped me fit in. On weekends, I would walk through the chilly, fluorescent aisles of our local CVS to the expansive cosmetics section in the back of the store, brimming with 99 cent nail polish...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school268 WordsQuestion: What would you title your memoir? I am a driven person. I set goals for myself, and I achieve them through diligence and perseverance. I am also a high school student, and although I pursue interests outside of school, I often feel as though my entire life is taken up by school-related assignments and issues. If I were to write a memoir about my life thus far, it would be called “You Can Sleep When You’re Dead: A...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school269 WordsQuestion: What book has been most influential in your life? Sad books are good books. They are also depressing, gritty, and typically, just not fun. Up until the tenth grade, most of the books I read were either about dysfunctional families, (think Ordinary People level dysfunctional) or memoirs of some anorexic-schizophrenic-manic-depressive hybrid. Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar was what forced me to call it quits. I don’t quite know if it was the attempted suicide in the basement...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school253 WordsQuestion: Describe a personal idiosyncrasy. 1.

One thing I can say with confidence is that the interviews got progressively easier; you gain confidence each time you have the experience. At the University of Rochester, I had an uncomfortable interview. It was my first interview, and the admissions representative was somewhat intimidating. She asked me odd questions, including asking where my sister attended school, and then asking me why I wasn't applying there. My next interview at Skidmore went well -- the interviewer...Read more...What might make for a good “Why Us” essay topic at my school55 WordsEmerson wants to know that you are dedicated and passionate about your craft.

The first was schools that offered intensive, pre-professional programs in film and television, such as Emerson, Ithaca, and BU. The second was liberal arts colleges that did not offer the same intensive programs, but were schools that I would love to attend if I decided I wanted to pursue a less focused, more general path, such as Occidental and Skidmore. I found schools by talking to my parents, meeting with my guidance counselor at school, and using websites like CollegeBoard and Naviance, my school's college application website. The CollegeBoard website...Read more...High School Performance
