Essay Topics

Common App Essay

Wrote about my summer as a coding intern with the country club and how that made me certain I wanted to do Computer Science in the future.

Interview Experiences
  • Columbia University
  • Performance/Outcome: Went okay, thought it went well but parents were disappointed.
  • Dartmouth College
  • Performance/Outcome: Really good, clicked with the interviewer and had a nice conversation about my activities and interests.
  • Duke University
  • Performance/Outcome: Train wreck, interviewer was mean and dismissive about extracurriculars.
Letters of Recommendation
  • AP Java Teacher

    Got an A+ in the class and teacher knew I was very good at coding. Talked with her sometimes after class and was involved in CS Club/ACSL which she ran.

  • AP Euro Teacher

    I was never that close with any of my non-STEM teachers. I got an A+ in Euro and helped the teacher a few times with technical issues since I was on the student tech team.

  • Guidance Counselor

    I basically never talked to him except for end of semester meetings and before senior year for the "applying to college" meeting.
