Undergraduate / Admissions Essay - Character of Fiction...#4 [5]

Doctor Gregory House alwaysconstantly has his team brainstorm up ideas, makes them run tests to figure outconclude what could be wrong with the patient , but he always seems to "accidentally" find outdiscover exactly what the illness is. He is a grouchy, sarcastic, brilliant jerk that hatesdespises people. His job is all about solving puzzles, which he always finds the answer to.

Through a rigorous process of trial and error they always come to a conclusion at the end of the show. They are obedient and only speak out against house if they have a logical explanation. If the patient's heart stops they manage to find revive the pulse(not sure what this is trying to say). Every mistake they make leads them closer to their conclusion.

now I am no english major but I just added a some words that sounds a bit more elegant.

Undergraduate / Boston University passion for drawing essay- Is it clear and focused enough? [7]

Drawing, something I have been doing since before I can even remember. From drawing sprawling battles between
fictional nations across the confined margins of my seventh grade math homework to overdoing sketches of plant cells on my
tenth grade bio-labs. Throughout my years at school I often found myself sitting in class doodling all over my notebook
instead of actually taking notes during the lectures, which of course had gotten me in trouble quite a few times but not all
the time.

Most notably during my sophomore year geometry class where I would turn triangles into Egyptian pyramids surrounded by an
unforgiving harsh desert rather then calculate the degrees of each angle. Of course my teacher was not too fond of my
"calculations" judging by the grade at the top of my paper. Or during my junior year history class where my idea of taking

notes on Nagasaki consisted of a drawing a B-29 bomber flying towards the Japanese sun narrowly escaping the mushroom cloud's
grip. Sadly this illustration did not help me when trying to remember the date and time of the attack during my open notebook
quiz. And still events like these could not deter insatiable urge to draw.

Eventually that urge led me to the one class that I could draw without negative consequences; Graphic Design. After reading
the description of it in the course selection booklet junior year I knew I had to take it, and that I did. I skipped intro

and went straight to Graphics one, and felt right at home. Now I could apply my creativity without reprimand. It felt great to
actually take a class where my assignments were graded on visual creativity and effort which was something I had excelled at.
Now when I hear the word sun in class, instead of having to write a two page paper on solar energy and its benefits to

society I can draw a red orb engulfed in flames with fire jutting out licking the outer regions of the universe and be given
a good grade. My only regret is finding this class so late in my high school experience.

High school isn't the end of my learning nor has is satisfied my urge to draw, its a launching pad to new opportunities and

experiences. And now as my high school life comes to a close it is time I move on to college and turn my passion into a full

fledged career.

also when i submit my essay through common app Should it have a title?

Undergraduate / Boston University passion for drawing essay- Is it clear and focused enough? [7]

Isn't drawing a verb therefore my second sentence would be complete? if not what could I add to make it complete. i fixed the first two paragraphs a bit.

"Drawing, something I have been doing since before I can even remember. From drawing sprawling battles between
fictional nations across the confined margins of my seventh grade math homework to overdoing sketches of plant cells on my
tenth grade bio-labs. Throughout my years at school I often found myself sitting in class doodling all over my notebook and in between my class notes.

Sometimes my notebook doodles would get me in a bit of trouble. I recall one time during my sophomore year geometry class where I would turn triangles into Egyptian pyramids surrounded by an unforgiving harsh desert rather then calculate the degrees of each angle. Of course my teacher was not too fond of my "calculations" judging by the grade at the top of my paper. Or during my junior year history class where my idea of taking notes on Nagasaki consisted of a drawing a B-29 bomber flying towards the Japanese sun narrowly escaping the mushroom cloud's grip. Sadly this illustration did not help me when trying to remember the date and time of the attack during my open notebook quiz. And still events like these could not deter insatiable urge to draw. "

i agree with my conclusion being Cliche but after sitting here for awhile I can't think of how to make it sound better..

would this make gramatical sense to combine both sentences using a semicolon

Drawing, something I have been doing since before I can even remember; from drawing sprawling battles between

tenth grade bio-labs.

I think I got it. How is this

I have been drawing since before I can even remember. Throughout my years at school I have often found myself sitting in class doodling all over my notebook and in between my class notes. I have drawn everything; from sprawling battles between

fictional nations, across the confined margins of my seventh grade math homework, to overdone sketches of plant cells on my
tenth grade bio-labs.

I agree but I can not seem to dig up anything else? Recall is almost just as lame...UHGGG!

hmmm let me post some quickies some might also be cliche.

Drawing has been something that has always peaked my interest and seems as natural as every breath I take (ok really corny but I don't know)

To Imagine a period in my life when I was not interested in drawing would be frivolous (or futile?) Throughout my years at school I have often found myself sitting in class doodling all over my notebook and in between my class notes )this being the sentence coming directly after)

Essays / Good Entrance / Application Essay - how long should it be? [11]

Most colleges prefer no more then 500 hundred words. Of course some ask for a minimum of 500 and and 750. So if you really can not find it I would suggest making it 500 because it will be your safest bet. As long as it is well written length should not be a major factor.

Essays / Question on "additional infomation" on essay application [12]

Would this be a bad thing to put in the BU additional Info?

I am fully aware that both my grades and my portfolio may not be up to par with that of other incoming freshman but I feel that by attending BU I will have an opportunity to learn. Not only learn but hone my art skills in the field of graphic design. What is college if not an opportunity to learn, and improve ones self?

My gpa is 3. something and my SAT was 1670. So my chances of getting into the graphic design program are meh. Would adding this help or hurt me under the additional info? I feel like it might be bad since it seems i am doubting myself. But it also makes me seem like I want to strive to become better.
