I have been procrastinating writing my law school personal statements for SO long, and then I came across your video. It was such a big step for me, realizing how much more I had to offer than what I had previously thought about. Seriously, thank you so much for being inspirational and supportive!
Love this! What kid can't sit through a 27 minute video if it will get them through the hardest part: getting started? I will absolutely be sharing this with my students!
After watching this video I had to leave a comment. I clicked on it thinking it wouldn't help (like the tens of other videos I had previously watched) but it made me come up with some great ideas. Thanks a lot. I 100% recommend this video.
Thank you so much! This really felt like the push I needed to get going. I loved the Career exercise, it helped me really understand myself and who I want to be in the future and how that correlates with who I currently am.
This is a great way to come up with all the different aspects of your life, aspirations and values to connect back to an essay question rather than the other way around which is so much harder. This approach is so much more natural and hopefully in the end you have something authentic and not totally contrived. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I've been stuck on one block for so long and this opened so many ideas in my head. Helped me figure out what and who I want to be as a person. You're presence is very comforting and it helped me be vulnerable in my answers. :)
Thank you for making the most daunting part of a college application in a 27mins video walkthrough. Honestly, you're the best💖... Totally unrelated, I love the color of your eyes
DUDE, I love you! Thank you for this video! LOL I was so stucked with no ideias with a weird personal essay, but now more than helpful, your video is FUN which is one of my islands! Hahaha!
Hi Ethan, my child is a trauma survivor and when it came to your question of "I know a lot about..." it caused an emotional response. Can you please contact me off-line with suggestions? This student is very bright and academically talented, but is also trying to heal from the pain of the trauma. Thank you very much.

Hi there! Some of it is, yes. I recommend checking with the schools you're applying to to get a better idea of how their application may differ from other schools. Hope this helps!
Hi CEG, what is your opinion on the best college essay question? I heard from other yt videos and some of my friends that some common app prompts should not be chosen like 7. And prompts like 3 are challenging to do and very few people do it, so it will make you stand out better. what are your thoughts on this? thanks
I recommend writing a great essay, and selecting Prompt 7 in Common App: "Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design."

@@Collegeessayguy I see... so how can I ensure that my essay is on the right path given that there are no restrictions in this question
"Personal Statement" is a specific term for a UCAS applicaton. Does this refer to American applicatons?
College essay and personal statement are also often used synonymously here in the US.
suuuuuuuuuupppppeeeeeeer✨✨✨✨✨
Thanks!
like 1000th for you
Thanks!

What chess videos do you love? If you haven't seen Dan Heisman, you should! :)
GM Hikaru's channel is pretty rad...and agadmator too. :) Thanks for the rec!
yes, agadmator is pretty cool. Dan Heisman is the BEST chess coach there is for lower rated
