Essay Topics

Common App Essay

I think they were pretty good, I genuinely like each of the schools I applied to

Interview Experiences
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Performance/Outcome: Went really well, he was super nice and seemed very interested in what I did
  • Cornell University
  • Performance/Outcome: Talked for 2 hours, I loved it—but doesn't count for admissions
Letters of Recommendation
  • Engineering Teacher

    I got to read this one and it was very sweet, talked me up about being one of his favorite students ever

  • APUSH Teacher

    Didn't read it but I really enjoyed his class and talked to him a lot, he's also the advisor for HSDA so I think he wrote a good character letter

  • Counselor

    Didn't see this one but I talked to her more often than I know my friends did with theirs so she probably has a good idea of me

  • Physics Teacher (Optional)

    I also read this one and it was very well-written and deeply covered each of my achievements
