@cynthiatheguardiansis: Another college application essay topic I would avoid is the mission trip or voluntourism essay. I explain why in a four-part series. This video is Part 3. Students who wrote about this topic would often try to present themselves as broad-minded global citizens while following a formulaic storyline. In this video, I question that idea. Here are the videos in the mission trip essay series: ✅Part 1: An Essay Topic That Used to Work Well ✅Part 2: A Successful Mission Trip Essay That Got Her Into 3 Ivies ✅Part 3: Why Past Mission Trip Essays No Longer Work Well Today ☐ Part 4: Can a Mission Trip Essay Still Work? If you are new to my content, welcome! I am Cynthia, the former guardian and forever big sister of a current UPenn M&T student and Gates Scholar. I simplify college admissions one step at a time. #collegeapplicationtips #collegeessay #collegeadmissions #applicationtips #collegeessayhelp
