Want Someone To Revise Your College Essay?
I just finished my last finals and 5th semester of college today (whee!!!). So if anyone wants another pair of eyes on college essays, I love helping with last-minute college application madness. (Will read up until the the New Year!)
Send me a link in my askbox or send me an email at [email protected]. Iâll be forwarding all emails to my main and sending myself email notifs for asks, so Iâll be getting to them as soon as I get them, if not, Iâll shoot you an email to let you know when you can expect a reply.
If you have areas you want me to focus on or concerns you have, please do specify them!
General disclaimer that Iâm not admissions-related in any way but just enjoy reading college essay. I have a pretty good eye for helping with structure, getting messages/voices across, level of detail, etc and generally try to provide thorough, constructive feedback on these essays (:
Dear Rejectee,
For the most part, I do not know you well, except that you have been recently rejected from a school you really wanted to go to. And it sucks. It frustrating, annoying, brutal, and just flat-out depressing. You are angry, maybe crying, and maybe even isolating yourself for a little. But you know what - you are more just than a rejection. Getting a rejection does not invalidate all the hard work youâve spent getting good grades and test scores. It doesnât take away from the fact that youâve accomplished great achievements within your extracurricular activities and personal life. It doesnât change that fact that you have grown and developed into someone amazing. You did not spend four killer years of high school to get into college. You spent four killer years to become a better person. Because now you know you are capable of balancing 10000x hours of work while still maintaining the duties to your sports, musics, community service or whatever it is that you devote yourself to. You know that you can still have friends, get less than 8 hours of sleep a night, and still make it through everything. You know that you have the capacity to do it all. You have walked a journey to start another journey, not to reach a destination. Next year, you will find yourself in a new home and you will find amazing people and opportunities waiting for you there because that is what you have worked so hard for. Not to be at a single specific institution that tries to tell you that you arenât good enough. The hardest part about being rejected is convincing yourself that you are not a reject. Yet, this can also be the simplest, easiest act to help you move on with your journey and see the light of a hidden path. Believe within yourself that you are greater than this, that you do not need validation for your hard work and efforts. Believe that you are absolutely amazing no matter where you have been accepted because quite frankly, you are.
Now in college, I believe more and more in this post written months ago.
We are more than a statistic. We are more than our schools. We are the collective greatness that no one will ever fully see.
Every year during admissions season, I find this post again. Perhaps because this post still resonates with me - through all my failures, rejections, and disappointments as I end my fifth semester at Harvard.
We have a lot of successes and we cannot let them be eclipsed by our singular defeats.

What are the top 3 things you wish you could've done differently during the test-taking and college admissions process?
1. Stress less. College admissions is very important because it dictates where you will study for the next four years, but honestly, itâs not worth all of the stress that goes into it. Put in the work, show off your flair, struggle a bit, but no need to go overboard dying over it. You will make it.
2. Plan ahead. I honestly felt like I did some of these things without a full plan. I signed up for my SATs, but didnât really think about when Iâd start studying for them and how that would fit into my schedule. I applied early action but ended up writing my essay very last minute. Thatâs all fine and well, but gosh, things might have been easier if I sat down one day and said Iâm doing this by this day, and broken it down more than just âstudy sats for marchâ or submit applications by some date.
3. Ask for help. Thereâs a world of community out there. I certainly have my doors open if you need anything. If talking to other applying/test-taking students makes you stressed out, donât talk so much with them. If you have no idea where to start, ask for help. People are here and ready to watch you succeed.Â
Best of luck with things!
Hii, I'm working on applying to uni but I'm really starting to feel bad because I don't feel like my grades or my extracurriculars or my achievements portray how I really am and that's all universities will judge me on even though I know what I'm capable of.. it's kind of lowering my self esteem and crushing my hopes.. do you have any advice?
When I used to feel overwhelmed by everything in life, I used to find a way to vent it out to someone - whether this means talking to someone about all your worries and where they stem from, whether that means writing in a journal, making a song about it, etc. After getting out all of this frustration and anxiety, I made a plan. A thorough plan. At the top Iâd write down my big overarching goals. Then Iâd write down a list of ways that Iâd achieve them. They have to be doable check-off-able measurable things. Sometimes making a plan is helpful for just seeing things.
But this also doesnât necessarily work for everyone. Reach out to those who can help you. This isnât something that you have to or even should go through alone. You are more than just grades, and a resume, and where you end up. none of these things fully define you. Itâs easy to read these things and just glaze over them because youâre probably heard them before, but maybe itâs time to internalize it. Your self worth is not the accumulation of your visible accomplishments. Thereâs a lot you and a lot that you are that do not show up on paper. Thereâs a lot that you think about and do and are that no one else gets to see. Remind yourself of these things.
There a stormy days. They are hard. We will get through them. (:
hello! i'm in year 10 at the moment (i'm in australia) and have just started to research american colleges. i'm in love with harvard - it sounds like a completely amazing school, the campus life sounds awesome, but i have no idea of how i'll even have a shot at getting in. i know it's super selective but if you had any advice...?
Very very few people have any idea how they go in.
I have a strong belief in finding something that you like and working hard at it. I know that itâs also hard to figure out what your âtrue passionâ is and that itâs hard to pinpoint âwhat you love doingâ. But itâs easy for us to tell when we hate something, and honestly, thereâs no point in doing something that you hate. I believe that if you truly love something, that shows in your application, your interview, your essays.
Work hard in school. Make connections with your friends and peers and teachers. Do what you like doing. Spend some time figuring out who you are, who you want to be and what you want to do. Be honest.Â
Playing the admissions game is just impossible - they change what they want every year. You play your game and you will do great things.Â
Hi :) I've been following your blog on multiple accounts for a while now. I just wanted to check in with you and ask how your first year was? Did you love it? I hope you're doing very well!
This is obviously a very outdated question, since Iâm wrapping up my first semester of sophomore year at this point.
I really enjoyed Harvard my freshmen year, but I think I enjoy it exponentially more my sophomore year. Freshmen year is a time when youâre absolutely amazed and in wonder at the novelty of everything. But itâs also a time when youâre growing and learning and developing so fast, which can be hard. You have to adjust academically - which everyone kind of knows when they get here but I think everyone takes for granted that magnitude with which academics is different here. Itâs also hard because I didnât figure out my extracurricular activities scene. As someone who defined their high school self as a component of the extracurricular activities I loved, it was hard to come here and have to start over. Same with friends - you go from knowing everyone and feeling belonged and knowing where you stand - to knowing pretty much no one. But despite these difficulties, there were also definitely a share of great things and new experiences.Â
And this year, as a sophomore, Iâm loving what I do. I take some interesting and great classes. I have a solid group of friends and Iâm so willing to reach out to more. And I found my footing in the extracurricular scene. Iâm still exploring a lot of who I am and what I want to do, but Iâm enjoying it too.
Thanks for asking - I appreciate this (:
hey!! I was wondering if you could give some tips on how to become a better writer. English is probably my worst subject and I really need/want to become a better writer
Becoming a better writing â this oneâs hard. Iâm also not sure whether youâre talking about it for academic purposes or for college application purposes.
If youâre talking about it for college application purposes (which Iâll assume you are, since youâre messaging this account), I think the best thing to do is to just write. Write everyday so that you can clearly lay your ideas out. Pick a topic and think about how youâll organize it, the ideas, and how youâll support them.
Thereâs a lot of online communities for writing that also may be helpful; even just doing blog posts. Writing is honestly one of those things where you just have to keep doing it. Getting feedback for writing is also big - which is why online communities can be great. Iâm also generally willing to read anything for college-related purposes too, if youâd like that as a resource.
I can do another post on academic writing, if youâd like. My writing has improved significantly since coming to college. College writing can be very different from high school writing.

We haven't heard from you guys in a while. Will there still be an advising program? We are getting into late August. What comes next? When should we expect to hear some news? I was and still am very excited for this great program you guys are having.
Yes, I promise that weâre still having this program! A series of unavoidable conflicts happened the week I returned from my abroad trip and now Iâm balancing work with life. It also takes an incredibly amount of time to pair people up! Working through it - about 80% done!
Do you need more peer advisers or is everyone all matched up already?
Actually, we are still in need of more peer advisers! I reopened the application for peer advisers, so if there are any rising high school seniors who want to advise rising high school juniors OR rising/current college students who want to advise rising high school seniors, weâd love for you to apply!
Link: here
Can we drop out of the college advisee program if we want to later on?
We put a lot of effort into pairing advisors and advisees (every application is read, sorted, and paired by a person) and thus, itâd be really unfortunate on our part and on your adviser/adviseeâs part if one was excited to participate but the other didnât. Inevitably, sometimes pairs donât maintain contact for too long after being paired, but we hope that everyone who applies will go in with the intention of being involved (at whatever level you prefer). Communication frequency is solely dictated by pairs.
If you participate in dual selection and state that you only want to maintain contact until a certain month, etc, that can also be a possibly.Â
If thereâs some situation or circumstance that you are considering, we can definitely try to work something out too.
Tumblr College Advising Program Now Taking Applications
Peer Adviser Application: here. Student Advisee Application: here. *You do not need a Tumblr account to apply.*
APPLICATION DEADLINE: JULY 25, 2015 11PM EST DUAL SELECTION DEADLINE: JULY 29, 2015 11PM EST
What is the Tumblr College Advising Program? The Tumblr College Advising Program seeks to pair students going through the college process with those who have already completed the process in hopes of fostering mentorship, guidance, and collective learning.
In addition to having a student-pair relationship, each pair will also be placed in a larger advising team consisting of multiple pairs/triplets to act as a base network so students with similar concerns can reach out to those besides just their peer adviser/advisee

For the Procrastinators: 12 College Essay Ideas To Get You Thinking
Nothing beats college essay writing season! Hereâs a few topics to get your brains buzzing about what to potentially write about. If youâre really stuck, consider free-writing on one of these topics. (Think personally and deeply but maybe also even outside the box!)
Remember that itâs not always about the best experience youâve ever had, but about writing an honest, personal essay that you can actually write about. (Some topics are really hard to put into words (which is totally fine and normal) and for some, this makes them too hard to write about well.)
Think about the qualities that define you. At what point, did you notice or decide to become this person? Why/how?
What do you believe in? About your friends/family? About school? About social justice? About life? What drives these beliefs? Where did they come from? Why do they still exist in you?
Who has inspired you? Why them? How does this personâs experiences/beliefs/goals/qualities relate to yourself?Â
As youâre walking in the hallways, eating at lunch, spacing out in class and/or just before you fall asleep at night - what do you think about? Why do you think about it?
Take a moment to think about your daily routine. How did it end up this way? What has it meant to you? Why do you continue in this way?
Think about your daily routine again. What part(s) of it do you take for granted? What are the small things (physical or abstract) that have meaning to you? Why?
Think about your hobbies - not necessarily your school extracurricular activities either. When itâs school break, the middle of summer, the weekend, what do you like doing? Why this? Whatâs your story behind how you got interested in this?
What makes you imperfect? Why does it matter/not matter?
Think of a time when chaos seemed to run through your mind. Following this time, when/where did you go to feel most safe? (This is not necessarily a specific place or even a physical, real one.) Where do you feel most like yourself? What does it say about you?
When you are around new people - what do you fear of them? Donât fear of them? How are you stereotyped? How has this affected you?Â
How do all the things in your life connect? Why does it make sense for you to be involved in this but also this? Why does it make sense that you chose to be a part of one community (school, extracurricular, friends, families, geographical community, social groups, programs, etc) but maybe not another?
If you were to write a one-page letter to your past self, what would you say? What about your future self? In your letter, why do you choose to write about these things? What makes them so important? What does what you would say to your past/future self say about your current self?Â
Stay awesome and good luck!

Because college might be great and all - but itâs still wicked expensive.Â
Most of these scholarships are âgeneralâ â and not too specific to a certain group of people, college, or location; theyâre also generally geared towards those in the US and high school seniors/undergrads â though some are worldwide and include grad students. Make sure to also look up other scholarships that will be specific to you; this will narrow down the pool of applicants and thus increase your chances. Look up criteria such as your school, your state, organizations youâre a part of, ECs/activities that you do, gender, race, potential major, religious faith, and anything else that defines you.
Also remember to read all eligibility conditions, rules, deadlines, etc on the site for yourself.
*First page is the list of scholarships. Second page (found at bottom of spreadsheet) includes additional resources.
Hopefully, this will be updated as time proceeds with current info and new scholarships. If you know any other scholarships or further details to the listed ones, let me know and Iâll add them.
Good luck!
Just updated this today. Itâs now got 100+ more scholarships!
What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
