Essay Topics

Common App Essay

This was my best essay because it's the only one I actually proofread and wrote in advance. I tried to be like deep and artsy or whatever, so far all the school I used it for I've been accepted to. Super cliche but if it works then alright.

uc essays — Supplemental

Not super good, pretty cliche. I procrastinated so bad and wrote them all three hours before the application was due. Proofread once through the easybib checker. I went back and read them, they aren't fantastic but I guess they aren't horrible.

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor — Supplemental

I didn't try at all. I only applied to University of Michigan, Ann Arbor because I accidentally sent my SAT scores there and I felt bad about it. Not great but I also didn't want to go.

Stanford University — Supplemental

Horrible, just horrible. I wrote it the day of and only proofread through online grammar checkers. Genuinely really bad. I reread them the other day and was viscerally embarrassed. It would take a miracle for me to be accepted here.

Interview Experiences
  • Stanford University
  • Performance/Outcome: It was super awkward and my lights went out halfway through. I definitely messed that up. Not prepared really, stumbled my way through it.
Letters of Recommendation
  • AP US History

    He was also my advisory teacher throughout high school and he wrote me a great letter of recommendation.

  • French

    I just needed a second letter and it was really last minute so I didn't want to ask my math or physics teacher and I figured this one was fine. Not great but it'll do.
