    This is a good video, but students who have 4.0 and great scores still get rejected, so the essay is IMPORTANT!

    This helped a lot. I wish there could've been an essay example, though. I'm applying for Game Art, so I have to write 4 essays for one college and submit a portfolio. I'm gonna be super busy. Fingers crossed.

    Good question, RoseOfHysteria. That depends of how you write. But in my opinion, more than four months before your deadline is probably too early to start.

      Yes, coming up with a good topic is often the hardest part!

    I'm a chronic procrastinator so I went ahead and enrolled ina college prep class for the first few months of my senior year. Just finished my first application 10 months before the deadline for Fall 2023. Almost done with two other applications as well, just need to revise my essay since all three colleges have the same essay prompts.
    100% would have applied one week before the deadlines without this class.
    If you're a procrastinator and don't know how to apply to college see if your school offers a College Prep class!

    as an artist i cringe at 2:07 cause thats the wring way to draw a hand the thumb is in the the wrong place. but besides that the video was helpful thank you.

    • @mistersato411
      @mistersato411  7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I cringe when I see it too. Jane has since had a hand transplant and can be seen again in the Gertrude the Ghost Cow video.

    looking at a maritime college as my first choice. I dont think that flowery, emotionally expressive opinion peace is exactly what they're looking for.

    • @user-np2ui1yu9r
      @user-np2ui1yu9r 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      it doesn't have to be flowery or emotionally expressive as long as it showcases what kind of student and person you are

    I defy school administrators to find even a large minority of application essays that are not predicated almost entirely on bullshit.

  • @xXUniqueSunRaysXx
    @xXUniqueSunRaysXx 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That was so helpful to me, I learnt how to write a good essay only by thinking smoothly and show the real me to the reader and not what he/she wants to hear. Thanks a bunch. By the way I am applying for pharmacy school, I am getting high grades so I think I fall into the first category however I am a chronic procrastinator (sounds odd LOL :P)

    If I’m applying to multiple colleges, is it okay if I send them the same essay, or should I make each one unique?

    • @mistersato411
      @mistersato411  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the prompt is the same, there's no reason to think they'll read the other college's application. But re-read carefully before you send it to the second college.

      @jennifercarlson6178 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      it all depends if you are applying VIA common app. if you are doing that you choose based on 5 topics. you can find the topic at common app.com. how ever if you aren't doing that it depends on the school.

    What do you mean with writing in auto-pilot?

    • @mistersato411
      @mistersato411  10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      By "auto-pilot," I mean writing without real intellectual engagement, just sort of going through the motions without genuine thought, feeling, or originality.
