Undergraduate / 'overwhelmed with emotion' - Transfer Applicant - George Washington University [10]

Daisy, I read through your essay, the revised one and it seemed as though you modified it only for the sake of saying you modified and

did some changes.

Now, writing is not an easy skill, it takes a lot of time and dedication to the craft ad this is why the admissions panel will give you a room to improve for.

They will pretty much realize that you are trying hard to make your essay as good as possible and
as what is asked to the prompt and this is what you have come up with.

I just hope that after this essay you will be able to dedicate a few hours of your time everyday to practice
and hone your skills in writing, and oh, read a lot, this helps enhance your vocabulary and will give you a whole lot of pool

of new words that you can use in your writing.

Undergraduate / UC Personal Statement! Prompt 1- Me as an unique cultural mixture Prompt 2- What I learned in Mexico [4]

Hi Ko, I'd like to share my thoughts on your essay, first essay first.

Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community or school - and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.

- I belong to, as I consider myself ina member of two communities.
- The city that I live in and school that I attend to are favorite places for Koreans.

- I felt special asknow I was different,
- and I figured out being unique is nothing bad,
- not to be drifted to the middle of nowhere, but, in the contrary,
- adapting to new environment with thea firm dream.

Ko, as you can see there's only a few remarks that I made on your essay, however this doesn't mean that your essay is strong,

I suggest that you write a few more sentences on your dreams and aspirations rather than dedicating almost the entire essay writing about your background and your family, talk about your future too, this is also part of the essay too.

Undergraduate / What do you do? Why do you do it? (20-200 words). [6]

Ornela, we would appreciate it if you can also post the prompt for this essay or is it the title of the essay or the prompt below?

There's a difference between being busy and being engaged. Lafayette comes alive each day with the energy of students who are deeply engaged in their academic, co-curricular and extracurricular explorations. In response to the prompt below, keep it simple - choose one activity and add depth to our understanding of your involvement.

Letters / Motivation letter for Erasmus mundus scholarships - English isn't first language [6]

Rose, this is my initial remarks for your essay and we will talk about the essays presentation and how it's written for now.

I understand that before you made the decision to write this application, you made a few research on the scholarship and it's true
the Erasmus Mundus scholarship is one of the most sought after scholarships out there, not only do they provide one of the
best education, they also have one of the most outstanding faculty there is, so this is one shot that you have to take very seriously.

Now, the presentation of your essay is quiet weak, too many segmented paragraphs, what you can do is to merge a few of the small paragraph and roll them to make one full paragraph. Punctuation mark, yes they are to be used but in your case, you use them too much and the input is not in the right place

or manner.

Your word usage and grammar needs polishing too.

As you can see, there's quiet a lot of work to be done so I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Undergraduate / Computers and Me - computer science, mathematics, programming languages, the Linux terminal - for UC [5]

Rene, first of all I believe this essay is far better than the first one.
On this essay, you started with quiet a fortunate side of the story,
you managed to bring the story to the height where it talks more
about an inspiring experience, rather than having self - pity and let it be.

Now, the essay looks and reads more appropriate to the prompt now and
you can see the difference from the previous essay, you can notice that
this is the essay that the prompt is asking you to write.

I have also made a thorough proof read on your essay and for future reference, try
to keep a light mood on your essay and don't linger on the dark past side of the story.

Essays / Individual essay - compare and contrast the entrepreneurial journey [16]

Nel, I agree with Louisa, the key to writing an outline and in anything that you write in general, the best thing to do first is, research.

Research on how the essay should be written, what are the information that the essay should have and what are the right inputs you
have to include in the essay.
It will only take a little amount of your time to do a research and believe me, it's worth it.
The key to a successful essay comparison and contrast and in writing as a whole is when you
have a great deal of knowledge before you even start writing.

I believe you have to integrate a lot of details into your outline and not just outline, but a full length of facts as well.

When you have a new draft, post it here on EF so we can assist you further.

Letters / LETTER OF MOTIVATION FOR RWTH, AACHEN ADMISSION [8]

Prince, I can see that you tried harder on this revised essay. You considered the points that we have for your essay
and you came up with a pretty written essay.

Question is, does this essay, satisfy and justify what is asked of the prompt?, the answer is yes and no.

Yes, because part of the prompt shows your dedication and perseverance towards the course of your choice and
the field that you want to pursue in college and as a career later on in life.

No, because, it's not a motivation letter, it's a simple narrative of your aspirations, dreams and what your plans are in the next few years.

Motivation letter as it is called is a letter that will showcase the influence behind your pursuit of a certain thing, passion or craft and in your

case a course that you want to pursue in college.

Now, simply answer this question, What motivates you to apply to AACHEN and take the course of Bachelor of Engineering in Metallurgy?
That's the only question that you have to deal with in this letter of motivation, when you have an answer to this, start to write the details in a very elaborated manner and when you have a draft, quickly post it here on EF so we can assist you further.

Undergraduate / Computers and Me - computer science, mathematics, programming languages, the Linux terminal - for UC [5]

Rene, I just realized that I focused too much on the grammar side of your essay that I completely forgot to check what you are writing about.

Having said that, I came back to see what I missed, I read your prompt carefully and read your essay for the third time.
I made a very disturbing conclusion, you actually wrote a totally different essay, what you wrote is a narrative of how you
choose the course you want to excel in and what you think will help you launch a brighter future in your career.
Now, tis is not what the essay is all about, the prompt simply asks you to write about the influence that
honed you to become the person you are now.

You can write about a person, an event or maybe even a challenge that linger in your mind and made you feel like it's the right thing to do and

eventually shaped you to become the person you are today.

Once you have a draft, post it here on EF so we can assist you further.

Undergraduate / UPENN undergrad application. Prompt: Exploring intellectual and academic interested at UPenn [5]

Anabelle, the word restriction is absolutely the last of your worries now.
I read through your essay and yes, it does not answer what the prompt is asking you to do.

The prompt says, How will you explore your intellectual and academic interests at the University of Pennsylvania? Please answer this question given the specific undergraduate school to which you are applying.

All you have to do is focus your essay on the prompt, answer it accordingly and make sure that you integrate a little information on your academic background.

Let's try by following the guidelines below;

- what is your academic background
- how will this background influence your academic goals
- why do you choose UPENN
- what does UPENN have that corresponds to your academic goals
- what can you contribute to UPENN as your future home and the community as a whole

Finally, what is the ultimate gift that you can share, academically and personal, to the institution when you leave after serving for few years.

I hope with this guidelines you will be able to come up with a well written essay and when you do, post is here on EF so we can assist you further.

Undergraduate / GPPA Program: Why direct to medical school? [5]

Serena, I can see that you manage to get assistance here on EF quiet well and this is very good, it just goes to show that you are very open to objective criticism and that you value the works of others and the extended help they provide in order for you to come up with a well written essay.

Now, as you can see, the main reason why there is a confusion on your essay is that you missed to follow the prompt, not only on posting it but also

in writing what the prompt is asking you to write. This normally happens when you get soaked into writing what your heart and mind desires, which is not bad at all, however, there is a very crucial aspect in this area that you have to take note of, in cases like, what if you didn't have EF

to look into your mishaps or a second pair of eyes to look into your writing pieces, then you will be in great trouble and more so, you loose your chance

for the GPPA program.

For future reference, review the prompt properly before writing and when you are writing already, make sure that you glance at the prompt form time to time, to give you a reminder of where the prompt should go and if you're doing exactly what the prompt is asking you to do.

Undergraduate / My "best" friend - panic disorder. UC Personal Statement [7]

Rachel, I believe there is no way of rectifying your existing essay to make it more of what the prompt is asking you to write.

As the prompt is "Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?"

You have to write a totally different essay for this, something that will answer the prompt properly.
Your original prompt posted here is absolutely far from what the essay is asking you to write, therefore, changing it in order to answer the above prompt

will not make any difference.

The prompt on "telling about your personality.." is a good prompt and I can assure you that you will not have a hard time writing it.

You already wrote an essay before so this one should not be hard at all, it's not going to be easy but at least you have some idea already.

Now, when you start writing, don't forget to review what the prompt is asking you to write and make sure that you write accordingly, when you have a draft,

post it here on EF so we can help you further.

however, I don't see the details of your 5th and 6th grade to be very beneficial to your essay, I'm not saying that you have to eliminate this information but rather than

so stop blaming your parents on the unlucky life that you experienced, instead look at them as an inspiration to be a better person, believe me this is not easy job to do, to look at people who doesn't do anything but look down on you but step up your game and prove them wrong, strive for UC and make it big.

Undergraduate / My fencing world teaches me to work diligently on things that I am passionate about - UC prompt 1 [7]

Well Alan, to help you out in this matter, the focus of the essay should be you as the writer and the doer of the action, however,

what the essay is asking from you is your actions towards greater community welfare and to be able to do that,
you have to have a definite plan that soon will be executed once you get admission to the institution.

The only thing with you is that you're still indecisive on what you want to pursue and this is somehow affecting your application, however, you don't have to decide now, I mean, a lot of students have decided what they want to pursue in college, but is that what they really want and what they want to pursue in life, sometimes, or shall I say, most of the time, not really, most of the time, students and people in general, find things, develop interests and discover a great deal of options in life, so you see, it's not really a bad thing to be indecisive.

I believe all you have to do is, draw your essay to focus on who you are and what you can contribute to the institution and you will be fine.

Good Luck!!!

Undergraduate / I thought she was DEAD - [UC Prompt 2] [14]

Tonya, let me help you further.

1) Does it need editing?
Well, it seemed as though you did your own editing on your essay and you didn't really follow the edited version of your essay done by Louisa but I believe her version wis very helpful, specially because it draws out the negativity of the essay.

2) Cutting down, perhaps? It was hard for me to find anything to cut down, besides rephrasing statements.
Cutting down your essay will not help if the focus of the essay os not corresponding to the prompt, so I suggest that you do a thorough proof reading and see which sentences you want to eliminate, I must say that your 2nd paragraph where you wrote a few questions, this is not necessary as we have already established the frame of thought.

3) How does it compare to the first draft?
The second essay or the revision is definitely better and can still be enhanced.

4) Does the conclusion fit, or is it a stretch? If it is, I would be happy to change it, but it was definitely my 'ending on a lighter note' for this essay.

The ending is good, realizations in life is always a good note to end an essay.

start by describing your father as he is the person who influenced you the most.
His traits, words of wisdom, actions that you want to imitate and gestures that you want to
copy or do the same way. It's better to write an essay that is direct to the point and answers the prompt
right away rather than giving a whole new meaning of the word and then going back at it, save your other ideas for the next prompts that

you will have because, for sure, there will still be a lot more to come.

I hope you follow through and post not only the introduction but the entire prompt when you can.

Undergraduate / Dance Relationship - intended major; 1st UC prompt [3]

Kyra, I'd like to add a little editing in your essay.

- Of all the ways to identify themy self,
- I choose a dancer- a "hobby" , for little dreaming girls in tutus,
- one that I've containedpossess since I was small.

- My parents fondly repeatremember one story,
- of me in preschool in which the teacher planned out a music and dance time.

- This point was driven home quite when( what do you exactly mean by this phrase, because otherwise it can be emiminated)

- with the passion I hold and deep interest
- I hope to further develop my relationship with dancedancing .

So, Kyra the corrections above are my suggestions, I believe there's quite a lot of work to be done in your essay and it's workable, for future reference, refrain from using weak words, words such as "but" and direct translation as this does not help your essay at all.

Undergraduate / I thought she was DEAD - [UC Prompt 2] [14]

Tonya, as I read through your essay, it's as if I was reading a dramatic script for a film, it's full of details, creatively written and full of hope that life will be better in the end.

I believe you have managed to answer the prompt thoroughly and even if your word count is somehow a little too much, this is an easy fix, you just have to create a streamline of the ideas that you would like your essay to follow and eliminate unnecessary phrases or words that are not that important to cover your essay but make sure that the thought and the idea that you would like to convey on your essay is still there.

Looking at it in the format perspective, I believe you were able to come up with a good enough number of paragraph that backs up your essay and make it more appealing to the ruling panel of admissions staff.

Well, that's about it for me, should you need more assistance do let us know, EF will be here.

Research Papers / Persuasive Research Essay for ENG 200 "NASA: Why We Must Continue Exploring" [4]

Robert, you made quiet a following here and it's very true that your essay is very well written.
A few editing needs to be done but this is rather minor and you just have to follow the remarks above
and it will be perfect.

The difference you made on this essay is that you made sure that a normal reader will understand the purpose of your essay,
the terminologies that you used to describe in your paper is comprehensive and up to the level that is acceptable as to writing
a very scientifically inclined paper.

You also made sure that the paragraph and how you present the research is not crowded and not segmented.
Somehow you also managed to make a research paper with NASA as a topic that is very uplifting and creative,
to the point that every reader can grasp the message of the paper.

I wish you good luck and keep writing!!!

Undergraduate / The moment I opened up myself. -overcoming autism- [5]

Hi Shuto, I'd like to share my insights for the first two paragraphs of your essay.

First paragraph
-Many of my American friends seemed to be nevernot afraid of stating their opinions in front of others.
- It was time to say goodbye to myself in the past.

2nd paragraph
- I hated talking withto people.
- I couldn't stand even a slight change in my daily liferoutine ,
- I was oO nce , I panicked at the school
- However, I was, however, a "good" kid.

Shuto, the corrections above are just some of the remarks I made, I will get back to you to help out for the rest of the essay.

So far, what I noticed is your direct translation which you should try to avoid, this happens when you have an idea of what to write but

that idea is in your native language and how it transpires in English is rather odd, this is normal as English is not your native tongue and it's good to know that you are trying to be good at it.

I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Scholarship / I am targeting for the scholarship Erasmus Mundus school - Motivation Statement Guidelines [3]

Well Haris, to think of applying for a scholarship is already a challenge and to take on that first letter to write an essay that is your one shot to the scholarship is a rather daunting task, so here are some additional guidelines you might want to consider.

- research for similar work for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, this is not for you
to copy or anything because you know very well that you can do better than anyone else's work,
this is for you to have insights on what your essay is suppose to have.

- dedicate a good paragraph to showcase your inspiration and how this drive you to conquer the next level
- what can you do to help and contribute to your future community

Lastly inject a personal statement on your final paragraph to have that personal feel and authenticity.
When you're done, post it here on EF so we can assist you further.

Hi Siqi, I'm back for the next 2 more paragraphs.

- In Year3During my 3rd year I took internship in the local
- Above all, I self- learned skills of creative planning,
-to help better fit into the jobs and better runenhance my own accountand be better at my job .
- Despite the fact I'm in math department, the topic of my final year dissertation was"The use and role of social media in driving innovation". In this research, the traits of socialized transmission inXX district were explored through conversations with dozens of industrial experts and professionals.( I'm not sure how beneficial the above statement is for your essay, the thing is it drags your essay out of focus and you have already worked hard to maintain the content of your essay to correspond to the prompt so I don't think if this is a good idea.)

- After graduation, I was aware that I still lackneed a lot more experience of this field.
- I postponed applying formy Master's degree
- and made all my way to worked in a relevant field.
- I also supporting social media team in brainstorming using my
- unique insight as an after 90s .
- To describe my effort, I'd like to quoteI gained a following from my supervisor,
and he said, quote, " Siqi is an innovative and passionate young lady with unique ideas and strong execution ability".

There you have it, the issue that I have in this paragraphs is that the words you use are correct however they are either not in the right place or not in the right format altogether, you have to seriously work on this as it's affecting your essay.
