    This is a very very brief guide to writing college essays, based on my personal experience but also after reviewing approx. 200 student essays! Be sure to take the steps, starting with getting to know your college profile, brainstorming essay ideas, outlining essay, essay drafting, editing, and repeat!
    I will be uploading more videos on specifically how to choose a good essay idea, how to edit an essay, your ideal college apps timeline and time management tips, and more! Share this video if you found it helpful :)

    ‼️ BLACK LIVES MATTER, even though the protests seem to be no longer a "hot topic" and media coverage is decreasing. The problem is NOT solved, our attention span has simply lapsed.
    I try not to talk politics on this channel (follow my ig if you want my thoughts) -- but this is beyond "political". This is a legitimate hazard and disaster for society.

    college apps: a time where college students rejoice that we don't have to deal with it anymore, as we watch the kiddies struggle. I feel like my job is to pass on the advice and give yall virtual hugs hehe
    p.s. -- thoughts on changing my name to "ur tigermom chloe" ? i'm still not sure :(

    Hey! This is soo helpful! Thanks so muchh
    Also, do you have any suggestions for online personality tests or probably a questionnaire or something?

    • @asynchloe
      @asynchloe  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I use Myers Briggs and Kersei/Kersey (not sure how it's spelled) -- the results are not super accurate, but the questions definitely give you food for thought!!

  • @jessieliang8158
    @jessieliang8158 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    0. list event and characteristics
    1. structure the evant_ related
    2. don‘t talk about achievement. Instead, say why you start it.
    3. creative short story _ observe the tone
    4. if still no idea__ 50 successful Harvard application essays (thx ! Luv that)
    5. describe sth small and imitate others' tone and techniques
    6. draft essay__ don't quit
    😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰 see you in next video~

    Does at least one of your essays need to relate to your major? When the major is very competitive
