Essays : Personal statement- 7-8/10 ??? so hard to judge them myself- I used a long analogy of philosophy as a puzzle connected to my love for learning. Why tufts 8/10- so hard to convey everything you want to in so little space but I think I managed to relate my love of Tufts to myself and community well. The other one- 8/10 (?) I talked about MUN and how I’ve built a community and how much I love teaching mun stuff to my members.
