    Hello, I am a junior, I don’t get good grades in class 9th and 10th but now I am trying hard and I had also done some activities in 10th standard , I got silver medal in Kho Kho and gold medal in exhibition which was a best out of waste it was about WATERFALL OF MANIPUR and I also volunteered in jal jeewan misssion which was a project for save water and supply of water in small towns and I am still doing it and recently I also volunteered in free summer camp which teach various activities like classical dance,English spoken, martial arts, etc to students and adults who cannot afford expensive coaching classes and I also donate old clothes,books , stationeries for poor people every Christmas, I am doing this from 8 years and now I also got 70% scholarship in Aakash institute which helps students preparing for jee and neet exam, it was basically pre medical and pre engineering exams and now I am cold emailing to professers for research projects. Do I have a chance to get in Columbia university or Ivy League university. Please reply back 🙏

      I think you definitely have a chance. College applications are less about how much you do and what you do and more about how you’ve grown in those areas and impacts/legacies you’ve left behind. It sounds like you’ve done a lot of impressive things that you are passionate about. I encourage you to show that in your essays and take the admissions officer on a journey so they can witness your growth, what you did, why u did it, and why that would make you a perfect fit for their University! I hope this helps.

    The stories of your experience in your essays are so inspiring! How do you learn to write so well? I have trouble connecting my strengths and experiences to writing.

    For the first prompt about resources that have contributed to your intellectual curosity. Did you write that as a list or in sentence form? Not sure how to approach this question.

    • @MariahMonte
      @MariahMonte  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wrote it in list format:
      For example:
      Books:
      X
      Y
      z
      Podcasts:
      a
      b
      c

    Hey thanks for the video!!
    The "list of content" prompt this year says "Your response should be a list of items separated by commas or semicolons."
    and "Items do not have to be numbered or in any specific order."
    Did the prompt say those stuff when you were applying?

      @MariahMonte  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      definitely don’t give up! Regardless of the school you’re at, colleges want to see that you are making the most of the opportunities and resources available to you at your school! keep going and even try pursing interests and start personal projects beyond the sphere of your school. hope this helps :)
