<p>can I go for a cocky nd bragging essay in ivy league application? Im 1 in Millions. How can I be that in essay?
Just believe it blindly that Im truly great, hopes of millions, but no way to prove so, Ill just be another essay goddarnit.
[From third world, math english nd chemistry so so-> some rare infection fever. satscore's 2200+ and ill improve next time, sat ii math 800, bio 790, chem not yet bt hopin above 780. ] <Academic
thats just like someone else every year. I truly am nothing close to them.(this is not bragging too, everyone around me thinks so)</p>
<p>Should I brag about how I am not the type who goes in "extra curricular" . things that require social incentives and how others do these just for the redeeming value. while I wouldnt ever even have a peek in these activities. How I am born and breathing incentive to do good. How I from secondary skl did unite many.. well, what they require stuff like leadership and do good and stuff. I think I breathe those things. But how do I "prove" so?</p>
<p>How do I prove my love for science emanates from the stars, not just infatuation supported by silly inferiority complex driven "want of greatness". I dont wanna be great by going in ivy like uni s. I want to study science and not give it up after 4/6 years like them, those who just wants nice cars and other trites.
If you knew me you'd say I was the symbol for good, kindness, activism, humility..the list goes on. You would. just trust this line blindly and stop judgin my writing.</p>
<p>The problem is, I wanna brag about stuff, redeeming social work EC etc of others. but I am repulsed by the idea that I will be advertising all the things I ever did for anyone. I know no really great person would ever say a word about what they do socially. I wouldnt too. How can I be great on the essay without ever uttering a word about anything I did????
(Okay I might give a slight indication 1 I would teach poor children over fancy places, 2 helped others in my class from when I was little, and did 1 particular leadership about organizing a ...nope just that I ummm...*really thinks :L is it too bad to say I circulated books (not text) among poor children? in 5-8th grade well, cut that. but sayin I am "willing to do these and not those" doesnt mean I did 'em :/)
I assure you no good soul tries to gain somethin from what they did and willin to do for humanity. nor can I say I what nicknames were I been given from childhood. hmm..
lets see. Ill definitely rot here than say what I did to get into IVY
I wrote all of these very fast cause I would definitely change my mind in a minute, so here goes submit :::GOD HELP:::</p>
<p>@iamthebist 1 acc 525+ frnds(then) chked last 2 1/2 yrs. I heard it hosts some of the brightest people on earth. :,( ill definitely chk it out.</p>
<p>the thing I tried to say I have no EC. on me atleast. would bragging about current situation n stuff help? ■■■■■ s have better brains.
if I try to win the heart of those 3 readin me, ill just be like someone else.</p>
<p>Im having trouble believing you’re as humble as you say you are haha. And if you dont care about Ivies that much and just want to study pure science then why worry so much about your application? There seems to be an incongruity in the amount of staidness you claim to have in some parts and how apprehensive the tone of your writing often is.</p>
<p>@uberstupidfeeling- First, GRAMMAR please!!
You’re trying too hard to portray yourself in a specific way IMO and you seem to think that should involve bragging. You have to sound natural! You DONOT need 1000000 amazing ECs in your essay to shine. What’s far more important are your personal qualities, that should come through. That’s ‘proof’ enough. Be sincere and honest. Talk about what’s important to you and why. It’s a good idea to pick one incident and analyze that (assuming your supplemental question wants that), and show FROM that WHY you are one in a million.
Putting out 100000 things you did in 500 words is pretty much useless. All of that probably went on the CA anyway.
And, if you believe ‘blindly’ that you are one in a million, you might as well give up the essay! To get through, you gotta have reasons and examples and thus supporting evidence. And MAKE SURE you sound sincere, and not like you’re bragging/faking randomly.</p>
<p>I think I’m rambling now
Anyway, hope this helped, and all the best :D</p>
<p>Wait…did you just say facebook hosts some of the brightest people on earth? It’s absolutely the contrary. I met the STUPIDEST people I know (and knew before but didnt realize the extent of their stupidity) over there.</p>
<p>I have not seen such confidence(or overconfidence) in…well quite some time.
If u believe so strongly that u are one in a million, tell them WHY u think so.
Cobalt, I certainly support u all the way, I have not seen such a stupid bunch of people together anywhere( der are always the exceptions).And to say that u r one in a million, u must have some basis to say it, so show them that.
And regarding Community services that dont gve u certificates, colleges dont want that. Feel good bout what u did and list it in the EC section.If u feel the need to get a proof, get a rec from the person under u worked and send it along with ur supplements. </p>
<p>PS. For u to be 1 in a million, u need to be gramatically correct too!!</p>
<p>^^your PS! xD I would comment +1 on that if this were fb
And yeah, the general population tends to be made up of selfobsessed teens with 100000 stupid pics of themselves, and I HATE that! @Tizil- Your post made me LOL @Shrey- haha, I think exactly the same way when I see a good post in CC. And then I’m like…woah! This is NOT fb!</p>
<p>More accurate and true for each one of Indians would be, </p>
<p>“I am one in a billion. And since I am one of the one few lakh student who figured out a way to apply to American Colleges, makes me a worthy candidate hands down. Just saying…”</p>
<p>quite right bist +1
Oh, another advice, write an essay with the same grammer and u will be 1 in 20000 applicants with such a great knowledge of grammer…</p>
