<p>When I get the hard copy of my essay back from my English teacher (I reformatted my computer recently and only saved a hard copy I had to turn in) I'll send you a copy frazzled.</p>
<p>ashlee<em>s</em>man,
when you think about it, those essays are the easiest to write if you really know why you want to go to a school. did any people you admire go there? really great in your major? Also, take virtual tours. Look on each college's website and see if you cna imagine yourself there. Do you like how it looks, how the people are? MTVU also has TONs of helpful videos. explore into the college city also and explain how you like the similarities and contrasts with your current home. Good luck!
I love how the OP has helped tons of people lol</p>
<p>How do you get MTVU's website working? All I ever get are sponsored links, and ads.</p>
<p>kellmill: my d used this site or i sould say she found a student at the college of her choice on this site. The college student helped her on her essay; feedback, focus, and finding her real voice. And she told her about life at that college...it's a top 30 college.</p>
<p>hope it helps

<p>You should see how many drafts and sketches I have of my college essays....I still have scholarship essays to write!!! DAMN!!!</p>
<p>i did the application essay back in the summer when i was applying for winter, and it was 3 essays, which they changed the third one to optional, but it was 3 essays, no more than 1000 words, one essay should be 600 and the other 2 200, for the 600 one the max number of words was 630, i think mine ended up being like 625, 185, 195 or something, but now they're only using the first two essays and they made the second one more specific, and one of them has to be at least 250 words, i remember revising it over and over, but i'm applying for fall again cause i didn't get into my first choice, going to use the same essays, but i'll have to expand on them</p>
<p>I wrote what I thought was a really good essay, until I reread it after a month and thought 'wow, this is more about my grandfather than it is about me.' So I sat down and started thinking about recent events in my life. I realized that the simple act of quitting Irish dance could make for a very good essay. So I wrote about how much I loved it, how it had affected my life, and then the struggle I had with myself when I had to make the decision to quit. I was a little afraid it would picture me as a person who gives up, but my mother said it showed how hard it can be to give up something you love. And, lo and behold, I have just gotten a call from an admissions officer at one of my schools telling me they loved it and offering me their highest scholarship. So maybe try an 'inner struggle' type thing- it doesn't have to be beating cancer or ending a war to show your true personality.</p>
<p>you're luckier than me.</p>
<p>All of my essays were a drag. Not one of them was fun. Thankfully, I could reuse my 4th essay for 2 other essays and preserved some of my sanity.</p>
<p>I officially hate "Why?" essays. Hate... them. I only have two, and I did one already and am satisfied with the result... but this second one is killing me. I don't even know why I want to go there anymore because I am so busy that it's driving me up the wall.</p>
<p>I, for one, thought I'd found an inspiring and brilliant topic to write my essay on. Then, after I wrote the essay, I found it said very less about me and whatever it said was negative. I'm lost now and cant find the will to work on any other essay or even that essay.</p>
<p>would anyone be willling to edit my essay?
its just that ive asked people around me in my immediate community to edit it and they understand what im talking about but i dont know that an admissions officer would! </p>
<p>could someone help me out?? i would be really grateful!</p>
<p>if possible, could it be someone who is not of the class of '08...</p>
<p>anyone know how to answer the MIT essay askin for an invention or an idea?
like wat are they lookin for? i havnt invented anythin... and my ideas arent technology based....an example of that essay would be great, this essays stumped me for the longest time</p>
<p>I have an opening to my essay talking about job experience, but wana know if it's catchy enough, ie if i showed u the opening would you wana know the rest?</p>
<p>REALLY want it to be engaging as I realize talking about job experience is quite a typical topic. Any takers?</p>
<p>you can PM it to me if you want.</p>
