Essay Topics

Common App Essay

Wrote about being LGBTQ in a small, rural town and how I used music to become confident in myself. Felt very personal and had a unique style to it.

Interview Experiences
  • Bowdoin College
  • Performance/Outcome: Had this interview when I went through their fly-in. The person I talked to was really nice and tried to understand my interests even though she wasn't majoring in what I wanted to go into. Overall really fun and chill.
Letters of Recommendation
  • AP Lang Teacher

    Had her for two years and we are really good friends. Hopefully she talked great about me.

  • APUSH Teacher

    Only had her for one semester but I would hope she could talk good about me since my political club is through her.

  • Counselor

    She just started this year, so I definitely had to get to know her. Worked with her to start an information database, so maybe that helped.
