Undergraduate / Why GIT short response max 150 words - Georgia Tech is the perfect school for me. [4]

- subjects that have interestedhas intrigued ( I guess this words are better fit )
- Therefore, I would like to take advantage
- putdedicate all my efforts into these clubs,
- while infusing my own. Thereforethus ( you used the word "therefore" already so it's good to play a different word into the sentence ) , Georgia Tech is the perfect school for me.

I believe 150 words is quiet short to express your reason in choosing such prestigious university, however, we have to work with the instructions and I must say, you have well constructed essay and very well done.

I only have a few remarks, most of them is just for you to play with words and not to use the same words all the time. I suggest that you read more to enhance your vocabulary and practice writing whenever you can.

Essays / How do I improve this sentence? - For a report on how the tourism industry is defined in Japan. [4]

@lim, this is very interesting topic. The tourism in Japan has been booming lately, a lot of travelers are drawn to it's beauty as well as intrigued with it's mysterious history. Now on this essay, you should be able to come up with a well - written essay by following the guidelines below;

- introduction should showcase a little bit of Japanese history and how tourism existed
- how does tourism help in the Japanese economy
- what is the impact of tourism to the Japanese community
- what are the pros of tourism
- what the cons of tourism
- what is the biggest hurdle that Japan is facing when it comes to welcoming visitors in Japan
- what is the effect of tourism to the overall welfare of the Japanese community

To conclude, how did tourism redefine Japan as a tourist destination rather than a mysterious country of Science and Technology.

I hope to see your essay very soon, post it here on EF so we can help you further.

Undergraduate / I wasn't entirely sure about what type of engineer I want to be - Statment two for UW-Madison [4]

@jm, I will wrk on the second paragraph of your essay, first glance of your essay, I must say it's quite short and a few flaws at the beginning of the essay.

Anyway, let's go ahead and make additional enhancement of your essay.

- WithT he University of Wisconsin-Madison
- beingis the only..
- and with my strong Wisconsin roots
- this seemed to be the most logical choice for myself.
-...great sense of pride in whatever it doeseverything they do .
- ...job are among the things I plan on
- opportunities that are beneficially

So we're just done, and my verdict, it's not as strong as an application statement can be. First of all, you have to convince the admissions officer to grant you admission and this means you have to elaborately write your academic background and how this lead you to choosing such a university, next, you have to make sure that you are sure of what you want within the institutions curriculum in order not to waste anybody's time then you can incorporate your essay on talking about your Wisconsin roots and the rest of the essay. However, I know that with the help of EF contributors you will be able to come up with a much stronger admission statement.

Undergraduate / My performance in the Talent Show and further competitions - meaningful talent essay [11]

@davidy, I'm glad I was able to help, and it's absolutely fine to keep the word "improvisation" through out your essay, remember that this is just a suggestion and it's still your final revision that will matter in the end.

Now, when it comes to the confusion on the punctuation marks, this does not affect the grammar of your sentences because punctuations marks are use to stress and to give life to your sentences, notice that when the exclamation point is used, the one who reads the sentences feel a happy mood or a spark of joyful feeling, this is the purpose of this little addition to your sentences and believe me, they help a lot, specially in sending the right message across to your readers.

There you have it, you still have your final revision to do, I leave you to do that for now and I hope to read the final one of your essay.

Best of luck to you!

As much as I want to see your essay as a motivation or a driver to those people that are considered minority, I feel like you want to prove something and this is fueled by your desire to seek revenge for those people who look down or who treat you as one of the general public. Well, as much as this is a craving for success, I'd like to see you motivating yourself for that genuine desire to help and educate others, for greater good and greater welfare of the community you belong, more so to send a very strong message that, man are created equal. Equal in everything, no more, no less.

I wish you the best of luck and let us know the outcome of your application, we'd love to hear from you.

Well, there you have it. a few corrections and just a reminder for future writing pieces, use a comma instead of a semi colon in breaking your sentences. Though semi colon help in separating specific elements of your essay, a comma is what you need to stress out words and phrases in your sentences.

Having read your essay, it suggest that your mother had a pretty tough decision to make and the decision she made is absolutely the best decision she ever did. Now, there's no point of elaborating that part of your life as it is stated obviously in the sentence you have, her motivation throughout your life will be emphasize when you get into something that you will be very successful for and be known for.

Now, maybe an addition of couple more paragraphs should be able to lift your essay and will define it's purpose.

Undergraduate / Right now, what is uniquely you?--Absence and knowledge--my story [8]

@McClunge, I hope it's not too late for me to give my advice in your situation more so to your essay.

Your essay is good enough in answering the prompt however I believe it lacks little pieces of information about your academic status, having said that, the essay is not aimed at your academic status rather to the personal side of you. I love the fact that you are able to elaborately write about your life and the challenges that came with it. Sometimes it's hard to write about our situation especially when somebody has to read it and definitely will give a feed back about it, as much as we want, we want to be objective with our writing but of course adding a little bit of personal touch wont hurt.

On a much personal side, don't be afraid to challenge your future, there is no such things when it comes to what you can do in designing your own life.

I encourage you to be more bold, be aggressive in dealing with your approach for the future. Remember, You Only Live Once, so make the most out of it, I know this is a cliche but believe me it definitely works! Live your life the way you want it, the way you need it and the way you find happiness the most, because the next thing you know, life is over and you can never go back.

I wish that you practice writing more, it doesn't need to be an essay or a long piece of writing but writing more often, definitely helps.

Graduate / MBA Application essay explaining low GPA [5]

- ..when the going gets tough.
- quitting to quit is very easy.
- I wanted to give it up and go back home.
- ...away from your home and
- ButHowever, the college carried...
- ...in my life,whichthat no course work could teach me.

So you asked if this part of your application essay is convincing, I say yes, given the conditions that you have elaborated in the essay.

It is really a challenge when you're new to town and you try to blend in. It takes a lot of effort, time and long nights to think about how you're going to interact with the people around you. However, days and nights will pass and when you do good and hope for the best of everyone, everything will fall into place.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope my remarks help.

Scholarship / Executive and co-founder of the Information and Communication Technology Students Association [6]

@Nana, I read your essay and I feel bad that there is a word count restriction as this will limit you in writing a far greater essay than you already have.

However, let's dice up your essay and hopefully we can enhance it without going far from the limited number of words.

- Playing a leadership role in leadership ,
- I wasam an executive...
- ..our drive wasis to support,
- ...students towards attaining...
- Being one of the officials...
- I was always chosen to tutored students.
-...we have tutored and supported students...

There you go, I hope this helps!!!

That's about it and don't hesitate to elaborate your work experience, it may not be related to what course you'd like to take or the course you graduated from but it definitely matter when it comes to your application. Remember, your current work situation is a great addition to your application, however not related, it may be a builder towards greater achievement in your future career and it will definitely increase your chances in this application.

- different,( there is no need to add a comma when it is followed by the word "and" )
- and their values wereon different things.

Well, as you can see @alim, there's a lot of room for improvement, I chose to be hands on and do the necessary correction sentence by sentence, this way you will be able to see the difference in the sentences after the corrections are made. The condition that you are writing this essay is based on a direct translation with what is going on in your mind which is affected by your mother language, I know, because sometimes I do the same, however if you practice the language and writing it as well, you will definitely make it perfect.

Scholarship / How I managed to understand this phrase: "Practice makes perfection" - 'challenge' scholarship essay [4]

- From tendera very young age,
- ..skills in ICT. ( it will help if you can elaborate what "ICT" means and why you chose this course)

- I carefully studied what he always does...
-I certainly did not understood...
- ...what "Practice makes perfection "
- means until I started to do a self-study...

Well, that's about it. My remarks are quiet few and minor but I hope they help enhance your essay and just like your attitude towards ICT, I hope you do the same with your writing skills, practice makes perfect, this is absolutely true.

Now, I highlighted on elaborating ICT and what it means because most of your readers especially here in EF will only have a general idea on what ICT means and elaborating it will truly help in gaining an understanding on your essay and what your trying to come up with.

Undergraduate / SOCIAL MEDIA - Blessing & Curse; Undergraduate Essay-Challenging a Belief or Idea [3]

- ...and thus it s far more difficult to avoid.
- InT his way,
- On onethe other hand,
- ...vulnerable than mostanyone .
- We innately crave others'for other peoples ( for future reference on the word "others", there is no need to add an apostrophe) approval,

- whether I alwaysregardless if truly agree...

Well, the ending is not that much to be hateful about, however, I feel like it's not as a compelling ending as you want to put it especially that you are writing an essay for your undergraduate course. More so, I'm not convinced that you have justified what is asked if the prompt.

The story in the last paragraph which is your ending should be the 3rd paragraph from the body and you have to come up with a well grounded conclusion.

Maybe something like this;

Overall, belief is challenged more times than you can imagine, what you can do is stay grounded at all times and weigh the pros and cons before challenging this belief. Moving forward, I believe that I can be able to establish my own set of beliefs and practice them religiously, for now, I think before I click on my social media participation and when my day is not going what I hope it will be, I turn to social media to pump me up.

Something like this on the ending of your essay. I hope this helps.

However, there's still a lot of room for improvement and practice makes a lot of difference in your writing skills.

Undergraduate / Unforgettable quotes from the literature - Amherst essay [3]

Well, @schang, I believe you delivered what is asked of the prompt.
The points are met to be able to justify what was needed, I love the fact that you were able to blend your personal insights and experience to the essay and in doing so, you were still able to be objective to your essay.

What I did not appreciate as much is the fact that there is a word restriction or that you were restricted to have the maximum number of words that you can write.

It's a very good topic and you can definitely write some more. Literature is a broad topic, a lot of complex ideas can be rolled into a great piece of writing, however, it takes a lot of writing skills.

Nevertheless, you still have a long way to go, practice writing more, hone your talent everyday and be sure to refresh your language rules as it may hit you hard in your writing if you get left out or you make a mistake without the intention of doing so.

Undergraduate / Important life lessons from Panera Bread [3]

- ...to very many othera lot of people...
- aside fromother than my family and friends,
- ...of my coworkers hadhave .
- ...my friends'( an apostrophe is not needed in the word "friends" this is a common mistake that writers do as they are confused and nit exposed to reading or writing such words )

- Today, IN ow, I do understand
- This revelation has motivated to meto strive hard,
- just like some of my Panera friends do .

There you have it, I hope the remarks I made helps. And yes, not everyone's life is as comfortable as many of us, some are deprive and some have a little bit of everything not to mention those who have too much of everything but believe me, no one can have everything. The sense of discontentment always bore the human brain and will continue to hunt for satisfaction in their lifetime.
