<p>Are you already done. I’m in the process of editing mine. Once I’m done (which I should be in a couple of days), I will PM you the link.</p>
<p>Is any one else having trouble on the moral courage essay for SPS? It is the only essay I have come across that I can’t immediately start writing!</p>
<p>i did SPS last year and i had a TON of trouble with it. I just re-read one of my essays (for some reason it was about a billion dollars or something…?) and I thought it was OK. If that’s still a prompt and anyone want the essay for ideas PM me.</p>
<p>i hate the one where you describe the world you come from. i am having trouble with that one! ■■■!</p>
<p>yeah sps essays are the hardest that I’ve done. I don’t know what have stood up for morally! I know I have I just can’t figure when</p>
<p>I couldnt think of anything for moral courage either! I eventually thought of something form like third grade though… :)</p>
<p>Well that’s good. I’m home working on my sps essay on new years eve haha. This will take forever!</p>
<p>For SPS the essay is about something you stood up for morally? That’s practically the same as Choate. I’d hate to make up a story but I don’t know what to say.</p>
<p>I know I kind of found something. Yeah it’s pretty difficult to find something besides standing up to a bully or something.</p>
<p>What are some cliched essay topics?</p>
<p>maybe -
victory at the football/soccer/hockey/… game
asian culture</p>
<p>@ 98beebee- yea asian culture. the admissions will just look at your essay for 30 secs and decide whether if it is good or not. im serious thats how thety judge essays. sucks right?</p>
<p>about the SPS moral courage essay - i wrote about refusing to give my homework to others to copy… that counts, right?</p>
<p>and aznboi & blehjoints, what do you guys mean by ‘asian culture’?</p>
<p>I meant something like the woes of assimilation, of struggling between americanization and retaining your asian roots/heritage. idk, but i seem to read a lot of essays on that topic.</p>
<p>Do you think it’s okay to write 540 words for a 500 word limit if it’s not an online application? Thanks so much!</p>
<p>@ballerina22 - hmmm…i wouldnt just because im paranoid, but im sure its fine. Maybe cut it down to 520ish if you want.</p>
<p>haha make sure you’re not using too many words to say something that can be said in a few! btw @ballerina22, are you submitting an art portfolio?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ll try to cut down a few.</p>
<p>blehjoints - I’m sending a video of me singing and another one of me dancing. The only problem is, I’ve been so busy writing essays and studying for the SSAT to choreograph a dance to videotape! Gaaahhh so much to do! How about you?</p>
<p>Oh cool! Haha good luck! I’m submitting a photography portfolio :D</p>
<p>Ugh, I’m feeling really unsure of one essay I wrote, I don’t know if I should keep it or not. Can I PM it to someone for suggestions?</p>
