<p>your essay is eerily similar to mine! down to the diction and the voice...and i'm also majoring in eng, though not emphasizing in creative writing. i also got a likely...maybe we'll see each other!</p>
<p>Maybe it's just how future English majors write ::laughs::</p>
<p>Well, if we both end up going there- look me up if when we get to campus :) It'd be nice knowing at least one person!</p>
<p>They let you do more than two paragraphs? Or did you separate for the sake of our eyes on the screen :)?</p>
<p>i hope so! </p>
<p>tkm256, i don't think wellesley is too strict on the two paragraphs thing. but i was paranoid and made mine two very very long paragraphs.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was paranoid too so I just bunched it all together but this was how I had originally wrote it.</p>
<p>tkm, loved your essay! very unique and it definitely stood out. so are you going to wellesley?</p>
<p>I think tkm went to Indiana University in the end, based on listing her location as Bloomington, IN and remarking that people from California donât have seasons in her essay. I checked her recent posts (all 14 pages of 'em), but thanks to the 200 post limit, it doesnât go back to a point where she talks about decision making. Anyway, sheâs since graduated from Indiana U.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Excellent!</p>
<p>Wow i didnât know this forum existed! but Iâll post mine now! ughâŠeveryone elseâs is so goodâŠ</p>
<pre><code> Amidst the torrent of college paraphernalia, my family was visiting colleges and though we barely knew about Wellesley, we decided to âthrow it in.â Little did we know that, four years later, my older sister would attend Wellesley, and it would be one of my top choices for college. I admit I was initially intimidated that it was a womenâs college. However, I was more intrigued and fascinated by what it could offer me. The amazing respect for women, the potential we still have to show the world, is amazing, and being part of this would mold me indefinitely as a person, student, and thinker. My sister left home as an ambitious student, and came back from Wellesley with new ideas, thoughts, and a refined viewpoint of who she was as not only a woman but a thinker. Moreover, the networking is phenomenal, as is the support, or, as my father called it, the âfemale mafia.â Though his definition may be a bit blunt, I wholeheartedly agree that Wellesley is a school that fiercely protects and leads its students with the ambition to offer them the greatest opportunities it can. The women that come to Wellesley are innovative, creative, curious, and eager, and I would learn as much from my peers as I would from the rigorous classes. Coming to Wellesley would be like being welcomed into an immediate family, a community of like people with like minds who, at the same time, are so different.
Wellesley is full of discoveries and experiences, and the unique mix of intellect, womenâs college, and the academic rigor offers phenomenal focus and opportunities. As someone who was born with the talents of an artist, the ambitions of a scientist, and questions about the world around us, I look for schools that offer me the greatest chances to explore my passions for art, science, and discovery. Wellesley allows me to develop a well-rounded background in all my interests and more, while giving me the necessary tools to fulfill my potential. Neuroscience, for example, has been a strong interest of mine, for the brain is something that is mysterious and holds so much to discover. To be given the chance to be part of a strong neuroscience program at a school renowned for its strength and an environment that cultivates all different kinds of thinkers would help me grow in ways beyond that of a student. But I do not restrict myself to one path. I know that there is so much unexplored potential trapped within me that if I were to attend Wellesley, thereâs no saying what road I may choose. Wellesley gives students the opportunity to delve beyond one subject into another, an academic atmosphere unlike any other. I want my eyes opened, I want to grow as a person, a thinker, a woman, and at Wellesley, I can exhibit my full capabilities and accomplish my dreams.
