Hi friends! It's happening again! From now until September 28th, we will be reviewing YOUR supplemental and UC essays for free! Send them to essay@elevated.school with the subject line "TH-cam Review" for a chance to have your essay analyzed on our channel! If you are comfortable having me workshop your common app essay in a TH-cam video, I would be more than happy to do it completely free for you (we will anonymize your names of course!)! 😊😊😊
Hello from Brazil! First, I would like to say thank you SO MUCH for this and all your other videos, I'm definitely taking notes! From this video I learned the how to write continously ( don't want to do "The Eureka Problem") and to worry less, I just need to be myself and share my history, but in a unique way. I would love to get my essay reviewed by you, because here in Brazil we use "reais", not dollars, and '"1 real" its 6 dollars, and unfortunately I can't afford that :/ I hope I have this opportunity, and thank you for giving to me and all the students around the world, It means a lot to us who have a big dream waiting to be fulfilled in our hearts :) Yours sincelery, a girl who dreams a lot and its giving her best (or just Maria)
Hi friends!! For the next month (until 11/1/23), we’ll be selecting 3 of the commenters on THIS video for a FREE essay review! To qualify, all you have to do is like and reply to this comment with something you learned from this video :) FYI normally, we charge $225 for a professional common app review with feedback from two of our ElevatEd consultants!
Hey! Thank you for this video. I'd say I learnt the importance of analyzing other people's essays. Also, I really liked the tip about the usage of fun verbs, and how it just makes the essay so much more lively. I'd love to get my essay reviewed by you :)
This video honestly helped me so much with writing my Nat Merit Finalist app essay. I learned that talking about the process, adding specifics (even if they feel kinda niche), being vulnerable, and talking more about the solution than the problem helps to make all my Common App essays better 😊
This video was super helpful in writing my UNC Chapel Hill supplementals. The specificity was something I was clearly lacking, and this video highlighted that the more specific and personal, the better. This series motivated me a lot to think outside the box when writing my essays and I hope you continue it!
Thank you so much! for all of your college writing tips! Your video has taught me to watch out for cliches in my essay and to be as descriptive as possible (show don't tell!). Looking forward to watching your next college essay editing video! :)
This video provided me with a reminder that the tone of the essay is really important, and being able to use different word choices to reflect and balance different tones can help an essay stand out.

Hey Kevin! Love the video! Quick question, after watching pretty much every video on your channel I've noticed how you place heavy emphasis on the P/S ratio. However, the second essay you've displayed here, the one you gave an 8 to, doesn't really display much of either a problem or solution. Does this mean that it is possible to draft good essays that don't need to stick to the double problem solution format? Asking because mine is similar to the essay in question here, and I'm a little anxious 😅😅
funny enough, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer my sophmore year too. All my grades went down that year and i haven't been sure if i should mention that to colleges to give reason to the drop in grades. I'm worried it will make it look like an excuse though.
I amm so grateful for your mission, you should be more popular!!! Hope to see more valuable advice from you!!! I really appreciate your dedication and kindness!
Ermmm I think one or 2 sentence hooks are good bc they kind of demand the reader to keep looking for answers to your hook yk. Your hook should kind of leave the readers a little bit confused which would result in them lookikg further into your essay to understand the mystery you portrayed in the opening
Thank you so much for all your support! It's my dream to get into a top US college. Could you please let me know what kind of students you are looking to help? Thanks a again ❤

This has really build my confidence to send you my essay and I’m thankful for that
this is by far one of the best series/programs you have implemented- seeing the edits hands on is more helpful than you could ever imagine
Thank you for this . I was able to cut down a few sentences from my essay 😊
Hey Kevin! Love the video!

Yes I would like to know this as well. Thank you!!
You are amazing. This is what we need. I would love to get my essay reviewed by you.
funny enough, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer my sophmore year too. All my grades went down that year and i haven't been sure if i should mention that to colleges to give reason to the drop in grades. I'm worried it will make it look like an excuse though.
You can mention it in the Additional Information section of your application!
Sorry to hear about your Mom :( is she doing alright?
I’m applying to Northeastern as my ED school. Since they don’t have any supplementals this would help a lot!
This video was soo helpful! Thank soo much!
I love all you guys do! Your videos are great and really helpful. I love writing and watching these videos has helped me a lot :)
Thank you!!
You’re so nice! I appreciate your channel! Thank you
Hi
I was wondering if you guys review essay for New York university?
I amm so grateful for your mission, you should be more popular!!! Hope to see more valuable advice from you!!! I really appreciate your dedication and kindness!
Thank you!!!
i thought this was kevin leonardo
So helpful to see your editing process! Very helpful as partent to know how to give helpful feedback.
the second one was definitely edited by ai
what colleges did they get into?
I'm Ethiopian student.
I like all the reviews you have made.
So helpful🙏
Great info. Wondering why you didn’t talk about the frequent use of passive voice in this essay.
Thank you, Kevin. We're learning a lot from you. I hope you will do this free editing again soon!
WOW. It's a good essay but life doesn't happen in that order, right? That's my struggle now. My life is all over.
If I deleted the cliche hook, would I keep my opening two sentences or add more?
Ermmm I think one or 2 sentence hooks are good bc they kind of demand the reader to keep looking for answers to your hook yk. Your hook should kind of leave the readers a little bit confused which would result in them lookikg further into your essay to understand the mystery you portrayed in the opening
Brilliant!! A lot of learning for everyone
I am wondering if we also can have access to the elevated essay rubric.
I ❤ common app essays

Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
You’re an amazing editor! So talented
Oh thank you!
great video, it was so helpful! Do you think using quotes in the essay is valid?
I typically don't recommend it... but there's an exception to every rule!
if you mean quotes from famous people, I'd probably avoid - but if you just mean quotes from characters (like dialogue) that's ok!
@@elevatedschool thank you!
Let’s seeeee
dang
cant wait!
Very helpful!
Glad you think so!
this is awesome. hope you release more of these next week!
So helpful!
Glad you think so!
