Essay Topics

Common App Essay

I think my essays were good for the most part. I had them proofread by many people who gave good feedback and told me my personal statement and supplements were good. Although I did rush my Stanford supplements since I decided to apply a few days before the deadline, but it probably didn't make a difference anyway.

Interview Experiences
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Performance/Outcome: I remember being very nervous at the beginning and I started to settle down as the interview went on. My interviewer was very understanding and gave helpful feedback regarding the interview. I'm not sure if the interview positively or negatively impacted my application.
Letters of Recommendation
