@clavis.college: Essays are highly important to your college apps. While they aren’t the main factor in most rubrics, they certainly have the ability to elevate the application. In this way, it can be said that essays can make or break your application. So why would you not give essays everything you have? In this slideshow, I give you a framework that you can utilize to build a great college essay, that is tried and true for Ivy League admissions. #collegeadmissions #highschool #collegeapps #ucla #nnbiology
paper bleach is literally the only tool that makes my college essays sound human instead of robotic

i wrote about how i’ve always wondered what happens to the characters after i finish a book and how growing up in hospitals my curiosity about the people got the best of me and that’s why i want to be a nurse to make them feel seen and not just “the patient in room 3” because they’re people and their diagnosis doesn’t define them

guys is this college essay idea good to write about be brutally honest. I want my idea to surround how growing up I was considered to be the ambitious and motivated friend who was always studying. however that grew into an insecurity because I am around many family members who work much harder than me, for longer hours and more days.

I am a student from Morocco, and I am thinking about applying to prestigious universities in the United States. However, I have a question. My high school grades are somewhat low. Will this be taken into consideration during the admissions process?
What if I achieve an outstanding score on the SAT and TOEFL, and I also write a strong and unique personal essay? Would I still have a chance of being admitted?
As for extracurricular activities, I enjoy self-learning and exploring new things, both in academics and in other areas. I like trying different activities and learning new skills. I also participate in volunteer work during the summer.
Based on this profile, do you think I would have a realistic chance of being admitted to a prestigious U.S. university?

I’m writing about my childhood stuffed animal and how it essentially watched me grow up and was the only person there for me through it all and basically making it an extended metaphor to no matter how much you accomplish people still may not think you’re adequate enough but you have to find your self-worth. Idk if that makes sense

i’d love someone’s opinion on this - currently writing my first draft and it’s about how i combine my passion for both animals and music (as a violinist), having had both dreams as a child and now realising that there’s no need to pick between the two (essentially how childhood dreams always resurface - life is cyclical and although the course of the river may change, it always leads to the sea)

I dont know where to start for my essay but I always go back to the topic of always being downplayed on my neurological issues just because I wasn’t a ‘bad kid’ so it blended me into the ‘normal kid’ group when I know I’m not. And how this has led me to not rely on healthcare or finding out answers—overall my goal is to become a psychologist to help those people who feel like how I felt. (this isn’t everything js a quick draft)

I’m writing about the power of resilience as a teenage girl cause to be honest high school has been a huge struggle my story is more about me rebuilding after falling or struggling so bad like things would hit me left or right and I just got better and improved while having little help or support.

Other things you need to consider than just telling them your gpa and whats special about you for college applications is the amount of school achievements and activity curriculums you actually need to have. Things such as clubs, internship, sports etc. possibly even projects you’ve worked on during high school that may have been successful . All of those are important for your collage application. Without them, what are you going to give to show that you’re actually worth being sent to Ivey league colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Rice, Columbia, Cornell and more if the only thing you have to prove is who you are/ gpa?

Is it an okay topic to write about how I was ostracized from my community growing up and how it made me into the person I am and pursue the career I am?

How about an essay about how I suffered from sleep paralysis often as a kid, but wrote a backstory about my sleep paralysis demon and lore about his home world to make it seem less scary and soon after I stopped having sleep paralysis

i wrote a reflection on resilience and identity through an extended metaphor of a broken mirror. it progresses from using to the mirror to hide the struggles i faced into embracing the broken pieces i saw staring back at me.
