Essay Topics

Common App Essay

I wrote one of these in June, didn't revisit it until school started in August, and ended up hating it. As soon as I got home from school on the first day, I pumped out an essay about not liking technology/phones and building cooking fires at summer camp in Scouts in about forty minutes. Funnily enough, I barely edited it after this point, so it was from the heart.

Interview Experiences
  • Princeton University
  • Performance/Outcome: This was my only interview, and it went okay. She and I couldn't relate on much, but I presented myself well, and we had a good conversation.
Letters of Recommendation
  • Physics Teacher

    Worked hard in the class and I was one of the few who came in during early back-in-person school so got to know her well.

  • History Teacher

    Similar thing, but I have less of a passion for history so not on the same level as physics.
