I am with you in this application process and have definitely felt discouraged multiple times over, but then I eventually reach a point where I have hope again.

There is ALWAYS hope, and I hope that you can feel comfort in knowing that you will end up where you deserve to be and that there is always a way to thrive there.

As for the essays, if you are feeling like they are missing a “spark” or you feel like they do not really represent YOU, ask yourself this, “What do I love to do?” and “Did I write about ___?” “Did I convey my passion for _?”

I have found that the essays where I have written about something I truly care about, I am the most proud of.

All you can do is give this application process your best shot. Some things are out of our control, so it is in our best interest to only concentrate on what IS in our control.

Who cares about other CCers stats?
Who cares about what people say college admission officers will “want you to write about”?

No applicant is the same, and this should be comforting. Why? Because there is not an exact check list of credentials that an applicant must adhere to. This is your time to display yourself in a unique light, play up your strengths, and stand out from the crowd.

Good luck, friend!
