Undergraduate / 'to break through, no matter what' - Me vs Me - Lessons from failure [4]

Kunaal, I believe your essay is written well, it depicts the struggle, I would not call it a failure but a struggle that you have in order to succeed and see life as promising and full of hope that it is.

As they say, there's a light at the end of the tunnel" and I believe the essay roots from this anthem and you elaborated it very well.

You also did a good job in choosing the adjectives you use in order to describe your ideas properly.
However, I would like to suggest that you complete the words that you seem to cut or abbreviate such as, "config ",
you have to write them properly as not all of the readers will get what you mean or the idea that you are trying to convey.

Overall, as I mentioned, your essay is written well and I wish you the best of luck!

Undergraduate / My contributions to CU-Boulder's 2030 Plan [6]

Kunaal, as I read through your essay, it lacks a lot of the answers that the prompt is looking for, I suggest that you reflect on the prompt and respond accordingly.

You have to focus on answering the prompt and not in sharing the research you made in your previous school, you have to form the best response to the questions in the prompt. How do you think you could enrich our diverse and inclusive community, and what are your hopes for your college experience? This is the question and from here, draw your answer and strengthen it by adding your facts, activities and hopes that you want to share with your future institution.

Also, share more of you academic aspirations and not the ones that you have done already, I understand that your past is where you draw your inspiration, but you don't have to write the whole essay about this.

I hope you follow through and revise your essay and post it back here so we can assist you further.

Moreover, you have a good sentence construction and the flow of your essay is well done too.

The only thing that I also want you to take note of is mentioning or writing the words again and again, please refrain from doing this, avoid direct translation as well, this happens to people who's English is not their mother tongue, is it normal?, yes it is but you should try hard to break this norm and become better in the language.

I also suggest that when you re-write your essay, refrain from focusing on your roots as a Filipino, it actually doesn't matter where you came from, the important thing is, we learn and never stop educating ourselves in more ways than we ever think we could and learning a second language and be good at it is not an exemption.

Undergraduate / Loving museums. I want to pursue a career in Museum Studies - Common App Personal Essay [9]

Audrey, when writing an essay, specially if you have been dictated a prompt to follow, it's always a good practice to write and start an idea in your head,

draft as much as you can so you will see how your writing evolved from your first writing piece towards your recent one. When you are convinced that you did one good piece, proof read and ask yourself, did I answer the prompt?, is this what the prompt is asking me to write?, or is this the right answer that I want to present to the panel as an answer.

When reading your essay, put yourself in the shoes of the admission panel and you will have a clear head to see if this is a good enough essay or a clear shot to a spot in the course. This is also a good practice that you can apply in all writing pieces that you will do in the future, treat yourself as the third person who will cricize your essay on a different perspective.

Anyhow, you did good in your work and I hope to see more of your writing pieces here on EF, i wish you good luck!

Fadilla, I came back to see the improvement you did on your essay and reading through it,
I believe that you were able to put it together and made sure that you will come back strong and your essay
did just that.

However, just one last thing that I would insist you do, try to limit you paragraph into 3 paragraphs,
the introduction, the body and the final insight, this way the statement will not look as much crowded as it is now.
As you know, the presentation of your essay also matters in the eyes of the admission panel.

You made a huge improvement here in your statement and I hope you maintain the same in the next writing pieces that you will do,

we will always be here to assist you.
Keep writing and read a lot as this will help you enhance your vocabulary too.

Research Papers / Traditional Indian musical instrument TABLA (drum) [3]

Mawra, first of all, your question should be;

Can anyone tell me...

Now on the research paper, it's god that you did what everybody forgets to do, writing the description of the subject in a clear concise manner.

However, you continued and talked about the object all through out the essay, what is the exact purpose of the essay, is it to have an educational

insight of a long lost traditional musical instrument, is it how the music culture in India evolved or is it something else, I don't have any answers and all I have

are questions.

Reading through your essay, I feel like I'm reading a narrative of the series, "how it's made" India. Remind yourself that this is a research paper and not a narrative or a normal essay. You have to review the writing format as well as the elements of a research paper because aside from being a step by step guide on how the instrument works and how it's made, there is nothing to take away and nothing to be learned about in your research paper.

Also, the most crucial part of the research paper, the citation it's not in the body of the paper and not even in the end of the paper.

You still have a lot to do and it's advisable that you start the revision now.

Undergraduate / I want to study the Earth and learn how it can help us in the future through its gifts - Texas essay [4]

Sarah, you essay is written well and it's got the idea of what the prompt is asking you to write about.
However, I see a few things worth considering,your first paragraph focused more on you rather than directing the essay towards
it's purpose. The first 2 sentences about your personal background and how you didn't have interest in music is fine, but not to write the whole intoduction

part talking about it.

Now the body of the letter started to shape your response to the prompt and it is looking pretty good.
You wrote the 3rd and 4th paragraph and I believe it would do you good if you interchange this two paragraphs and
inject your final future plan to end the paragraph, because right now, it looks like it's missing one piece of the puzzle.

I hope I was able to help in enhancing your essay and when you do your revision, post it back here on EF so we can assist you further.

Undergraduate / Life map--common application essay-background story-help with my structure and details [4]

Zhang, as I was reading your essay, it felt as though I was reading a sci-fi short story, your essay is full of strength and it has a good flow.

The reason, I said it has a good flow is that, the readers know exactly if you are telling a story or if the character is the one playing the role.

This is a good writing ability that I believe you can master or at least develop, in order to have a great following and who knows, people may follow your adventures.

Now, the essay can be further structured and well presented if you will be able to manage and keep your paragraphs into a minimum of three.

The proper paragraph presentation of the essay affects the overall first impression of the writing piece too.
When you do the re - structuring make sure that you don't delete essential facts of the essay or the part where the climax of the story lies.

Should your revision is done, post it here on EF so we can help you further.

Undergraduate / "Closed Doors" personal statement: describe an obstacle in life that you solved or want to solve [5]

Basil, my thought on your essay is that, it is written well, there's no doubt on that, you have good flow and structure on your essay that made it easier to read as you go along. The message of your essay is clear, that life is a challenge you are willing to overcome and will do everything to be of service or any help to others.

The only flaw that I can see is the fact that you started strong on the essay, the body supported the strength of your essay, however, you ended the essay with a very weak point, to the extent of somehow, begging for financial aid. This is improper and uncalled for,you should not incorporate this issue on the essay at all. I understand that you want to write something realistic and full of emotions, but this doesn't mean that you have to beg.

Remember, the reason why you're writing the essay is for you to get a spot on the scholarship, so focus on that and keep your financial burden to yourself, don't let your essay look as if, you are just applying for the scholarship due to financial constraints, this is a fact and the admission panel know this already.

I suggest you re-write the last paragraph of your essay and keep a positive note with high hopes of getting a slice of the pie.

Scholarship / Motivation to return to Africa after graduation [2]

Nana, I agree with the remarks and corrections that Irham did above, it will definitely enhance your essay if you follow through the remarks.
More so, I believe, presentation wise, you can merge the 2nd and 3rd paragraph into one full second paragraph so that your essay will not present

too much paragraphs and will not appear that lengthy.

I must say that the anthem you follow and live by is a very good choice, sometimes we just need that constant reminder
to boost our confidence and keep us going. Technology has also did a lot of tremendous job in turning our lives upside down and in

a very good way than we can ever think.

Furthermore, the essay has a good mix of what the current events are and the path that you want to pursue later on in both your academic and professional

advancement.

I hope to see your revision and follow through on the remarks made and post your essay back here on EF so we can assist you further.

The way you transition your essay from the obsession you have with mathematics and numbers to writing about

Amardeep, after careful research on this word, as I can't get it to myself that I don't know what the word is, it's like feeling hopeless.

Anyway, so now I know why I can't even find it in the dictionary, because it's misspelled, it suppose to be " cementitious" as

suppose to what you wrote " cementatious". You see, learning is in more ways than one.

Now, you learn as well that, in writing, there's a lot of things to consider and spelling is no exemption, it's a matter of sending your message across and not just the message but the message you want to send across.

For future, reference, be very careful on your spelling and you can always turn on that spell checker, to help you with your writing.

I hope to see more of your writing pieces here on EF and I hope I was able to help.

Undergraduate / I need to enjoy my time being alone won't help. I changed my old view about the people. [4]

Fwaz, I believe your essay is quiet weak and does not really correspond to the prompt, what you did is actually do the opposite way.

I was thinking that the introduction of your essay is just how you want to present your idea but you went on and talk about the same topic,

dedicating what you wrote in your introduction should be enough and should not continue to the second paragraph.

Your 2nd paragraph should focus on the purpose of the essay and answer what the prompt is asking for, you should also make sure that your ideas

is focused on what the purpose of your essay is.

You have to prove that the experience you had, changed and how it affected or added spice to your life.
It should showcase a transformation of you from the lessons you learned from your experience.
I believe the essay can be stronger.

I hope this insight helped.

It will also help if you can manage to incorporate the works to be cited in the body of your research or whenever possible, this way, the paper will have a known source by the time they read the facts and not to have to review it at the end of the paper.

When you do start writing, add some current events in the world of sports, this will keep your research paper up to date and makes more sense, this will also deliver a good source of information to the public and to the panel that will review your paper thoroughly.

Graduate / MS/MA in Statistics: Grad School Statement of Purpose [4]

Ye, you have a very well written SOP.
The only thing that I'm not a big fan of is the length of the essay.
The good thing is you were able to incorporate two different interest, if you might want to cal it, into an intriguing
yet realistic commitment to your future field of expertise.

Your weakness with numbers should not refrain you from taking another challenge as the field you would like to pursue is quiet related from the one you currently have. I'm no expert in all this analytical studies and mathematics is not my strongest point too, but I believe if you decided to take Economics in the beginning, then you should be able to decipher the and analyze the world of statistics.

Overall, your essay is written well, I suppose you will go over your essay and shorten it a little bit.

I hope my insights help.

I say you revise your essay and eliminate the unnecessary paragraphs and keep a focus on your academic background and goals.
Add a few statements on your personal background and what you can do as a future member of the institution, for greater welfare.

I hope to see your revised essay posted here on EF so we can assist you further.

As much as the world has a lot more problems to face, it is imperative that we focus on health and well being of the humanity and your research is talking just about this issue and will definitely be an eye opener.

I also want to highlight that you did a good job in your citation work, you did an extensive research that made the paper worth reading through.

Now, the only enhancement that I would suggest is to compress your idea into bigger paragraphs as it looks a little bit crowded when you have all the little paragraphs all over the place, as much as your idea of the issue at hand matters, your presentation of the paper also has an impact of

the overall presentation of the research.

I wish I was able to help.

Undergraduate / 'From coding programs in BASIC to playing football': persistence and hard work is the key to success [4]

Hi Hardik, as I read though your essay, I didn't see any relevance of what you wrote to that of the purpose of the essay, you made it so creative that you completely missed the purpose of your essay. Believe me, there's nothing wrong with being creative, I would like to write creatively all the time but if that's not the purpose of the essay is, then we are wasting our time.

Now, I'm not saying that you should write a totally new essay but I'd rather that you do.
Focus on the purpose of the essay and work from there, manage the flow of your essay and never loose focus, the informations you have about your family background, academic and hard work will still play a big role in your essay but keep it to a minimum and pull your essay together with a stronger final paragraph .

When you have your re- written essay, post it here on EF so we can assist you further.
