“Now I’m not going to procrastinate. I learned it’s better to finish my essays ahead of time, to have more time to make edits and revisions.” — R.N. July, 2019

“I liked how we were given prompts that were relevant to some essay prompts, because it allowed me to realize what I could talk about in my essay. My advice to other students: Pick a topic that you are passionate about, not what you think will impress the admissions officers!”–H.H. June, 2019
