From this process i learnt that wherever i wrote Essays which were honest or in which i wrote about things from my real life- i got accepted.
But was rejected from places where i was trying to be what i imagined they wanted me to be! |
I can't stress the importance of essays enough.
I didn't take enough time to write them and couldn't achieve good results.
(I assume this would be 28th in a row?)
#28 No matter how tedious it seems to write one essay waaaay long before the application deadline, it is a very good idea to do so. If nothing, just to go through ideas and get a more firm idea of what and how you want to write your essays. If you like how you did them so early, great! But if you don't, then you'd have enough time left to do corrections.
Reason I say this is that as I wrote more essays, I began to discover more things about myself that I wanted to covey, but didn't have time anymore.
So I say it's a reaaaally good idea to write two-three different essays just to help you brain storm.
