I have been enamored with typography ever since I could reach my desk while standing on a chair. It began with my family. We would make signs for everything—to greet someone after a long trip or welcome family to breakfast on Valentine’s Day. After signs came graffiti, never the illegal kind, but the wild, beautiful, abstract kind. Graffiti purposefully ignores boundaries....Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school1178 Words1) Stanford students possess an intellectual vitality.

When I hear something, I tuck...Read more...Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay373 WordsNYU is global, urban, inspired, smart, connected, and bold.

We call our teachers by their first names, snap when we agree with someone (so we don’t disrupt what they’re saying), and have councils where we discuss our feelings. Yes, Sonoma Academy is that type of school. Before Sonoma Academy, I attended a Waldorf middle school. Both schools are non-traditional and wonderful. Each...Read more...Supplemental Essay Strong beliefs/principles543 WordsAPPLICANTS TO THE MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS : Discuss the factors that have influenced your interest in studying business. Entrepreneur. This was the first word my grandfather taught me. I remember exactly where we were sitting, in a staircase at our cabin in Tahoe.

He has a mind for business.” With all the...Read more...Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay471 WordsJohns Hopkins forms the perfect amalgam of my interests: research based learning, international business and inspired people.

I was curious, so I looked it up,...Read more...Supplemental Essay Diversity statement100 WordsI come from a very liberal background.

It has that balance I am looking for; a research institution with a liberal arts curriculum, an urban campus...Read more...Supplemental Essay Using a metaphor239 WordsA.
