Essay Topics
Common App Essay
My love for genealogy and how it brought me closer to my family despite never meeting them. Discussed wanting to interview my great-grandmother after COVID ended. Revised essay after my great-grandmother died during the summer of my applications.
Interview Experiences
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Performance/Outcome: 5/10, first interview, lady was very quiet and we talked a bit about Massachusetts Institute of Technology but then she mostly talked about herself
- Princeton University
- Performance/Outcome: 9/10, man was class of '64 when only White men were allowed, so he said he didn't know anything about the school now and we talked about art for the remainder of the call
- University of Pennsylvania
- Performance/Outcome: 8/10, lady said I knew what I was talking about and thought I was a very interesting and fascinating person
- Yale University
- Performance/Outcome: 6/10, it was on a phone call because the lady didn't know how Zoom worked so I woke up 5 mins before and she was just not talkative but I think liked me
