Common App Essay: 7/10, I thought it was a fairly well written essay; it is very emotional and personal.
Supplement: 10/10, I really loved this essay.
Doing a Ted Talk is so cool! How’d you go about doing that? Also, very cool that you worked for the campaign of Secretary Clinton. I worked on President Trump’s.
@maryclairehenrytaylor Since your from Michigan and you worked in the HRC campaign, what’s your opinion of her campaign’s ground game in the state? I know turnout was lower in Wayne County and blue-collar dems flipped to President Trump because of his protectionist views, but what else happened?
Also, while your fencing ec is pretty unique and cool, I think you lack STEM oriented EC’s. Also, what are your courses?
I agree with @Mahindra I don’t see a stem focus in your EC’s, so your courseload will be important. MIT definetely favors the STEM focused, but I’m sure you knew that.
how did u already write essays for class of 2022
If you don’t mind me asking, what was MIT’s decision?
nevermind i thought you were class of 2021 hehe
