stronger ones, words with conviction, words that will justify your agenda for the institution. Not only this, you can also
work on the structure of the sentences, make sure that you have a smooth transition of ideas from beginning

proper indentation, proper structure and well organized sentences, for you to do this,
revise your essay and make the sentences into full paragraphs, this way it will look polished and
formal.

full paragraphs instead of the usual segmented or small paragraphs. This way of
formatting your paragraphs just goes to show that you are ready to go far from the
informal form of writing.

Also, the transition of your ideas are clearly written in the essay, there is a good flow,
the sentence construction has well rounded ideas that support each of the sentences

Sasha, after reading your essay, I must say that it's not bad at all for a newbie in writing essays.

In your essay, I didn't expect you to be using big words or words that are not use in everyday conversation
which is totally fine, however it would be great if you can amp up your words and make it a little bit more
formal than it is now, it just needs a little change in your word choice.

Now I'm also quiet puzzled with the last two paragraphs that you have, I believe switching them will be the best trick
to enhance this part of the essay and create that needed flow of the essay.

Lastly, the final sentence can be modified like below;

- I plan to live with intention, to continue to learning , to do what I love,
- and in the process inspire my peers around meothers to do the same.

There you have it Sasha, I hope my remarks on your essay helps.

Essays / Difference between Personal Statement and SOP [8]

Sakshi, on my end, this is easy;

Personal statement is written with your free - creative imagination , what has happened in the past,
your experiences, a semi formal essay of you and what is unique about you.

On the other hand,

Statement of purpose is more of answering the question, what do you want to become or what do you want to achieve,
this can be academic or personal or both and this essay is rather formal and clean, precise and straight to the point.

Anyhow, should you need further understanding on the difference of this essays you can always read some samples here
on EF for better comprehension and of course you can always consult our dear internet, google in particular, if you have any doubts.

person but on you. You have to revise your essay and direct it to your learnings from the life of the person who influenced you the most.

I hope to read your revised essay and don't forget to use stronger words that will dictate your will for greatness just like your role model,

Yes you have written your academic achievements, goals and aspiration but for now this is not what the prompt
is asking you to do, it's a motivation letter,not an outline of your academic background.

and keep in mind that you can still use or will be needing the other information in this essay that you may
not be allowed to use later.

them in bold, that will make more sense.

Your grammar needs a little bit of work too as well as your choice of words and overall sentence construction,
they seem to appear a little bit pre mature.

That's it for me Lucia, I hope my suggestions help.

Essays / The feminist literary criticism - need help with my introduction. [3]

Jonathan, to be honest, I'm surprise that you choose this topic for your essay,
this topic is quiet complex, interesting and very broad, however, very good topic to
write about.

Here' what I have for your essay.

- address women as Female and not Females

- Throughout history, Females have always
- been striving for equality with Males .

- The word that is supposed to represent gender equality derived from the word feminine, ironic is it not?
- Gender equality includes both male and female.( this part of the introduction does not flow properly, add a few more insights on this part and continue on the summary of the essay and it's purpose )

There you have it Jonathan, I hope my remarks helped.

Undergraduate / Share experiences that have shaped you and provide insight as to who you want to be in the future. [4]

Pallak, I'm still not sold with the way how the essay is presented, I'm not sure if this is just how you post it here on EF

but I would put a space in between the paragraphs, this will serve as a breather to your reader and will give them time
to grasp the essay and further comprehend in order to lead them to the message of the incoming paragraph.

Furthermore, below are a few revisions;

- Next, I organized another

- to the differently-able people as wellwith special needs .

- Outside of school, I have been involved in many volunteer/service activities.

- The lessons I learned in India, and perhaps most importantly the values I acquired growing up here , are the most valuable qualities I'll bring to Rutgers.

There you have it Pallak, I hope my additional remarks helped!

Undergraduate / "Diversity is the key to change" - Columbia Supplement [4]

Well Kennedy, structure wise, the essay is fine due to the fact that this type of prompt does not really need anything else
other than the answer to the prompt itself. Columbia put it the simplest way possible, they want to know your drive, your influence
in choosing the institution to be your home and you did just that so I believe it's a well written essay.

Grammar notes, I made in my first remarks already, however, I suggest that you do the practice that I do,
when coming up with a sentence, read it aloud and when it sounds off, that means there's something wrong with it.
This practice is proven effective to keep you from writing a grammatically wrong sentence. The incorporation of your
sentences are good and they answer the prompt direct to the point.

I must say with the remarks I made, I hope you will be able to come up
with a good and ready for submission essay.

Best of luck.
