Undergraduate / "our district championship" - Common App Elaboration--150 words. [2]

Good afternoon :)

This is a very good short response. The only thing I can see is to avoid using contractions, because they are inappropriate in formal academic writing. "Let's" should be "let us."

Other than that, I wouldn't change anything! Great work!

Undergraduate / My Undergraduate essay to FSU [2]

Good afternoon :)

I think your content answers the prompt well, and it is organized, but there are some mechanical problems. First, avoid contractions in formal academic writing; for example, "I've" should be "I have." Second, avoid abbreviations and symbols in formal academic writing. For instance, "&" should be "and." Also, make sure that you are only using one piece of punctuation to end each sentence. For example, "This has been the best day I ever had!" should not have a comma behind it.

Good morning :)

A few mechanical suggestions first. Avoid contractions in formal academic writing, as they are inappropriate. For instance, "I'm" should be "I am," and "It's" should be "It is."

This is an excellent piece; through your narration of your daily routine you explain exactly how your world has shaped you, without saying, "My world has shaped me by..." Other than those mechanical errors, I wouldn't change a thing. Great job.

Undergraduate / SAIC design statement of purpose; 'As long as there is life, there will be art' [7]

A SOP is a detailed description of the career the applicant intends to pursue after graduation, or a brief and focused essay about one's career or research goals. I'm not sure that this really fits that criteria. While your piece is very intriguing, it contains a lot of expressionistic phrasing, making it not so brief or focused. For example, how does the first statement and the following paragraph describe the career you want to pursue once you graduate, your career, or research goals. If it doesn't fit into those categories, it should be removed.

The SOP is just that; a statement. It should be clear, concise, and to the point. It really isn't the appropriate place for this much creative writing material. You really don't start scratching that surface until the third paragraph. Then, in the fourth paragraph you're off the path again, and you don't really get back on for the remainder of the piece.

Keep the focus and purpose of the statement of purpose in mind when rewriting, and you'll do much better.

Best of luck!

Undergraduate / Why Energy Engineering? - Will you review my admission essay [2]

Good morning :)

As you didn't include the prompt/assignment for this piece, I have edited the first section and then made some more general comments in regards to the remainder of the piece:

"Why Energy EngineeringThese aren't proper nouns so they shouldn't be capitalized. ? The aspiration to contribute to the research and development of efficacious green energy (Remove comma) and the craving to secure future in one of the fastest growing fields is the answer to the above question. As a dintI'm not sure if this is the right word here; "dint" usually means "by force" or "by force of," so I'm not really sure if it fits or not. of fulfilling these objectives, the master's program in Energy Engineering at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is a good fit for me.

Mathematics, science, and technology have always fascinated me right from my school.This is awkward; reword. This immense interest led me to choose an undergraduate course in engineering, specifically Electronics and Communication Engineering. Since these courses require an extensive knowledge of applied science, computer science, and mathematics, I thought it would be a great opportunity to excel my interests. Furthermore, I believe that my educational background has instilled in me the qualities required to meet the rigor of this demanding profession. Majoring in Engineering has provided a strong foundation in Mathematics and ComputerProgramming."

Make sure that if the word isn't the first word of a sentence or a proper noun it isn't capitalized. There are many words improperly capitalized in this piece; on the other hand, there are words that aren't capitalized that should be.

Make sure you are using the proper linking verbs and transitory words, such as "be," "as," "is," and "are." For instance, "I dealt with software as part..."

Avoid beginning your sentences with conjunctive/transitory words such as "so," "but," or "and."

Watch your use of commas. Remember that commas are used when listing items in a series, or to connect two main clauses.

In regards to content, it is difficult for me to say whether or not this piece is appropriate for the prompt, as I don't know what that is. As a standalone piece, it is very well organized, and you explain each point thoroughly. Your introduction is interesting, and your conclusion does tie up the piece.

Undergraduate / essay about experience [6]

This is much better, more appropriate for their question. It is a bit lengthy though, with lots of details and background information. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when you have a word count restriction to keep in mind, it has to be taken into consideration.

I think if you remove this section:

"Regardless of the possible reasons, she was still selling the plant and nuts on a chilly day. I imagined her to have sat there on the floor the whole morning waiting for a sale. Could the two dollars really have mattered that much? Was it really worth sitting the whole day outside when it was cold? It shows the severity of the woman's situation and the extent the old woman was willing to go in order to feed the child. What if it were her last few days? I doubt she would like to spend those last days sitting there selling the items because I certainly would not have. Regardless whether it was her last days or not, the elderly woman had the responsibility of taking care of herself and the child sitting with her.

The child must have gone to school, and when not in school she must be sitting with the woman outside. The reason for two people to watch the small setup could be in case one had to use the bathroom. The child must sit there alone in the event the woman must go to the bathroom, and face possible humiliation from her classmates that may happen to see her. How could they understand? Some of her classmates may have never had to face such hardships. The absolute mortification of having to sit on that floor to have a chance at some sort of a meal for dinner and to be looked down upon as inferior to the rest."

You will drastically reduce the word count without harming the essay. That takes off about 250 words; what is the limit?

You open the piece up by discussing an abortion, yet carry on the rest of the piece from the point of view of a single mother. Did you have another baby, or are you presenting a "what if" scenario?

What about the changing makeups of the drugs? For example, for every new test being developed, there is some scientist out there creating a drug that will not be detected. Or, what athletes will get tested? Should it be a blanket statement for all involved in college extracurricular?

I like your idea of consequences; perhaps you can do some research as to what the current procedures for x number of schools are. That would be interesting.

Graduate / Graduate Essay-Why do we need a Semiotic Methodology of Theatre? UNFINISHED [2]

Good afternoon :)

As this is not within my area of expertise, I have made comments in regards to grammar and mechanics. Perhaps another member here can assist you with content, or you can also run the piece by someone in your class in regards to the content. You can also retain a paid writing service, which could assist you with writing, research, and content.

The title of the piece should be formatted as such:

"Why do We Need a Semiotic Methodology of Theatre?"

You include many quotes in the piece, but hardly any citations. Make sure you do so to maintain credibility and avoid any accusations of plagiarism.

When using quotation marks, make sure that you are using quotation marks (") and not the apostrophe (') and that all of your punctuation is inside of the quotation marks when appropriate. Also, make sure that if you are quoting an entire sentence, that the first word of the sentence is capitalized.

Make sure you are properly using the apostrophe, mainly when you are speaking in terms of possession: "The spectators reaction" is a reaction owned by the spectators, so an apostrophe should be used. "The spectator's reaction" or if you are referring to multiple spectators, "The spectators' reactions."

Make sure that all of your sentences have ending punctuation; the last sentence in the piece does not.

Your organization looks clean, each topic seems to have its own paragraph. I'm not sure what your thesis statement is though, it seems that you have more of an introductory-type of paragraph rather than an actual thesis statement. The statement should begin broadly, encompassing the many items you will discuss in your paper, and then narrow down to the actual statement, which should be one sentence.

Looks like you're off to a great start! Best of luck!

Should be:

"...I took part in swimming, painting, and speech..."

I have edited the first section and then provided some more general comments in regards to the remainder of the piece:

"M..m..ma..my name is Jenny!" These four words, actually seven words, are all I have spoken in front of my friends and their families. By the time I was in kindergarten, family night event was held and it was a night to bring families together at school of fun activities that every one could enjoy.When I was in kindergarten, the family night event was held and it was a night to bring families together at school for fun activities that everyone could enjoy.

I have this on tape, and every holiday when my family and relatives get together (Remove comma) we watch this film and they all laugh at my very brief introduction."

If the MC event is the event that had the most impact on you, you should only use it in the piece. These other stories provide too much unnecessary background for this prompt. Focus on this one event and then spend the main bulk of your essay discussing the prompt; what your intended major is, and what you gained from the involvement with this single event. Yes, it is fine to state your actual intended major in a piece such as this.

I believe part of this prompt is to explain how this world has molded, shaped, and changed you. You describe these two environments at length, but don't spend much time on how you have transformed; this transformation should be the focus of your piece. You start out to do this with the first sentence of your last paragraph, but you need to evaluate deeper, with more explanation. How will you "use these resources to (their fullest) potential"? This deserves more explanation.

Undergraduate / My Team, This is who I am. Prompt two. [2]

I have edited the first section and then given you some general comments in regards to the rest of the piece:

"It was a team..." is it still a team of this many? Make sure you are staying in the same tense; this makes it sound like the team doesn't exist anymore, but the rest of your piece sounds like it is; please clarify.

"complains" should be "complaints."

"...person complains quitting the team, the..." should be "...person complained about wanting to quit the team, the..."

"..there was no better ways than..." should be "...there were no better ways than..."

I think the piece is a good answer to the prompt. Your conclusion wraps up the whole piece and again reminds your audience of the prompt; very good. There are some rough spots throughout the piece but if you keep in mind that your subjects and verbs must agree (as in the third example) and that your tense should stay consistent throughout, you will be fine.

Each of these floors in each of these buildings are teeming with clothes and accessories, the aisles crammed with shoppers on any given day and the booths overstocked with colorful merchandise, and housing - in its couple square feet of open space - one or two salespeople beckoning the customers like multilingual Sirens (voicing sales pitches in Korean, Japanese, or English, depending on the passing shopper's ethnic appearance). The streets surrounding these buildings are also packed with small shops and streams of tents providing shoppers with a different category of wares with every few steps."

Avoid beginning your sentences with transitory/conjunctive words such as "and."

As you didn't post the prompt with your essay, I'm not sure if this is a good response to it. As an independent piece, it has a good introduction and conclusion; the body is very descriptive and you keep a very good sequence in the narration. Your piece has a very eager tone, showcasing your enthusiasm. Nice job!

This is a good foundation to start with; you know what experiences you want to use in the piece. Perhaps instead of going through and describing each event at length, you can include all of the experiences in one brief paragraph, and then spend the rest of the essay discussing the focal point-what you have gained through these experiences.

Therefore, you want to spend as much time as possible discussing the effects rather than the events.
