Essays: Common app Essay was kind of cheesy, shared about my life in boarding school. Why Tulane Essay was probably one of my favorite essays I’ve ever written: Talked about my time on campus with Tulane and personified the university as a girl I’ve been pursuing.
demonstrated interest: Numerous emails exchanged with my admissions rep, Spent two weeks on campus, My Extended Essay( basically a 4000 word essay part of the IB curriculum) was heavily based off my work done in Tulane, which was Basically about a homemade water filter and related that to the how it was relevant to my geographic area, and how it had global significance(also talked about that in my why Tulane Essay)
