    Kyle, congrats on your successes so far. I was perusing videos on college acceptances and I found yours. My twins are applying for the class of 23 and of course that is where my head and heart are now. On a side note, the fact that you want to study medicine and in particular delve into lung cancer really got me. I have stage 4 NSC lung cancer with EGFR mutation. You have my gratitude for taking this beast on.
    Thank you once again and if you ever need questions answered about my experience, I am happy to help such a kind and talented person.
    Best wishes!!

I know I need to keep my grades up as well but last year I really struggled and I have been stressing over the fact that I don't want to lose my motivation and drive.

      the main essay on the common app (the one about fufu in his case) goes to all colleges that you pick. But the other smaller essays are Princeton specific. Some info may overlap. But questions are slightly different, I'd say. Not 100% copy/paste.
