Failure experience
I ate, breathed, and slept Student Government. Since the first week of my freshman year, I worked hard on behalf of the student body. I helped on more events than I could count, read daily announcements, and spent hours after school. People often joked that I should change my mailing address to 7C1 (the student activities office). Despite all the headaches, paper cuts, and tears, I loved every second of it. There was no place I’d rather be. To...

Supplemental Essay Amusing anecdote
257 Words
There used to be a simpler time in my life when TV was just TV. One fateful May evening, my mom naively suggested I watch the pilot for a new show about a high school glee club. By the time that hour was over, my life had changed. These characters mesmerized me and I wanted to know everything about them. That was how it started. I didn’t just watch shows anymore; they consumed me. I spent countless hours online...

Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school
521 Words
I’m a little bit sour. My acerbic sarcasm can be jarring at times. Making a witty remark comes easily, and I usually have a cheeky answer on the tip of my tongue. Sometimes snarky retorts fall out of my mouth, even though I know that’s not what people meant to ask. When my friend interviewed me for his French homework, he asked me a few basic questions such as: my favorite color (purple), dream job (physician), and favorite...

Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay
252 Words
I have never lost that child-like fascination with anything. I love learning about everything from astronomy and chemistry to poetry and religion. BU’s liberal arts curriculum appeals to me because the core requirements not only allow me to explore classes in many disciplines; it acknowledges the value of having widespread interests. I would jump at the chance to take “Evolution of the Universe and the Earth” which covers many fields of science in one course. I would love examining...

I have never lost that child-like fascination with anything. I love learning about everything from psychology and chemistry to poetry and religion. The core at Brandeis appeals to me because it allows me to explore classes in many disciplines and also acknowledges the value of having widespread interests. I can’t wait to try classes such as “Half-Jews, Queer-Jews, and Bu-Jews: Mapping Jewish Identities in America”, “Literature and Medicine”, “Sociology of Mental Health and Illness,” and “Introductory Astronomy”. I know...

Supplemental Essay Issue of personal significance

My Girl Scout troop is the community that is the most significant to me. I joined as a five year-old, and I am still in it today. My troop leader, Lucia, has been a prominent role model for me. She’s a successful doctor while also being a full-time mother and wife. My Girl Scout sisters are my closest friends. We’ve stuck together for all these years, despite our many differences and the fact that we all go to...

I have never lost that child-like fascination when it comes to my education. I aspire to obtain an undergraduate education with both breadth and depth. Brown’s liberal arts education appeals to me for this reason. I would love to take courses such as “Altered States”, “Quantum Mechanics”, and “Modern Science and Human Values”. Along with this, Brown has many student organizations that appeal to me. I can see myself joining Brownie Bites, Lean In, QA, and maybe even the...

I have never lost that child-like fascination with anything. I love learning about everything from psychology and chemistry to poetry and religion. Northwestern’s interdisciplinary requirements and quarter system allow me to explore all of my interests. I would love to take “Gender and Citizenship”, “Media Law and Ethics”, and “World Cinemas”. While I intend to study in Weinberg, writing is a serious hobby and I hope to also take classes in Medill and the School of Communications. I know...
