Undergraduate / 'Wearing school uniform' - Haverford College Supplement-Honor Code [5]

Sure, and here I am. I think your language level is much higher than mine, but every opinion worth taking, and I am happy to provide some.

TENSE
The middle school that I attended is strict both academically and socially. Every student is was required to wear the school uniform during school time. Undoubtedly, the rule benefits ed students since uniforms can enhance team awareness and reduce comparison economically among students. Meanwhile, however, negative aspects of the stipulation annoy ied many students, including me.

I think your original tense have some meaning. Were you thinking about some thing we learned in school such as " the teacher told us that the earth moves around the sun" when writing this essay. Uh~I can't make sure which tense to use actually. But once decided, keep consistant.

In the elementary school, no one had forced me I was not forced to wear the school uniform, and the liberal environment there gave me ample room for self-expression through dress and manner. However, on the first day of middle school, the principal announced the must-wear-uniform something like "Only-Uniform" rule. The community standards discipline made me quite unhappy since it would be hard for prevent/restrict me to wear from wearing whatever clothes I want and to from better showing show my personality. my uniqueness, or sth like that.

Much out of our my, who's we? expectation, no party neither side prevailed its opposite. Students were almost divided half by half concerning on the uniform policy issue.

In general, your essay is very on topic, clearly stated(except tense), and well focused. Uniform is a old topic but you do it innovatively. It's good to show that you first tried to change, which demonstrates sort of individulism and passion, ,and then you compromise for the opiniion of others, yeilding your quality to serve the majority and put your own interest aside.

Undergraduate / 'the red shield logo' - Macalester supplement essay-why mac? [5]

The highly individual logo triggered my desire to explore more about Mac. Before long I declared that I would go to Macalester College no matter how cold or remote it seemed to be (I love snow anyway).

联想到 中国结, wow, innovative!
Here I suggest you put more transition till comes to I declared that I would go to Mac. Triggered your desire is not enough for you to decide to apply, put more, summary is enough, what you learned from website.

Also, "Reared in a small village in China". Don't even see this word in SAT, Reared, I checked, seems more related to non-human : to breed and raise (an animal) for use or market . use normal word would be better. also, I suggest you directly say grow up, which shows you are strive to grow yourself, not the 花朵 in 温室。

Anyway, it's good.

Good to see my country cousins here, we can learn each other more. Q 304682885

Undergraduate / Mac essay-Macalester College supplement about diversity [6]

Is one of your friend named 甚至?

This essay generally looks good, related to the cultural diverse, but I think you can make it more impressive.
Try to tell the school more about how diverse Chinese culture can be. Through language, for example, the girls from Sichuan must talk differently from you and the Shanghai friend. Try to mke some controversy, some dilemma and some challenge to make the essay more intriguing.

Good luck.
Nice to meet someone in this forum, if you want, we can learn each other more. Q: 304682885, please noted yourself when adding me as friend

Undergraduate / The store as a reflection of the world - Williams essay - looking through a window... [10]

I like your depiction, very meticulous and interesting. Only one suggestion, but is the major one, how does your essay developed? Your end point is very good, and your shift of perspective is significant. So you can try more to make the shift of the point more smoothly, now it seems to be elevated suddenly.

Undergraduate / "collaboration with the minitry of health": page 217 of my autobiography [2]

Very good essay and creative idea.
But please take another moment to think of a autobiography, the language should be discription, and mainly focuses on yourself, you're telling story.

Looking around the hospital, I felt fulfilled with ? satisfaction? ]I had spent many years building I had been buildign this hospital for many years, and with the help of my very supportive husband, I had completed it .

This was the third hospital I had built over the years.

Undergraduate / University of Pennsylvania Academic/Social Communities Essay-Supplementary [8]

Your practice proved it for another time that inspiration is good for writing essays.
You related yourself to a abstract thing, like the spirits you mentioned by your name, very smart, it's natural.
You use "ship," "explore," etc. repeatitively, makes the essay very coherent, strongly connected.
Generally this is a good essay. A little suggestion is your ending paragraphs. Maybe you need a prompt ending to condense the broad aspects you've discussed in the previous paragraphs.

As you could not read my name, you know I can't help you with your grammar and flowing of words. Just some general feelings. Good luck.

Undergraduate / "Chapter 28" - Penn Supplement - one page from my autobiography [3]

Your essay has a very strong sense of authentic, real feeling, that is good.
However, if you don't mind, you can think for the second time of what you are trying to show. As I found, that's the steady pursue of your culture and your dream, which is absolutely good. but can you think of an other evil, obstacle or sth. to replace your friends in the essay? This essay shows a sense that you are motivated by other's ridicule, and you just don't care them, which neccessarily yeilds a sense of condemn.

Good luck

Undergraduate / Of all the activities, in our outside of school, soccer holds the most meaning to me [9]

Generally very good. Keep on trying.

Want to mention a little. Basically you are on the right track of doing a good college essay, story to philosophy, haha. But take care of the connection.

Before you come to conclusion:
It represents life the way most of the world sees it, achievement being due to hard wor k, but impacted by uncertainties . Soccer has helped me grow as a person and I hope to continue playing throughout my college experience, not only to make it more meaningful, but because if fulfills me as a person.

You have to show what is in your conclusion. From start to middle you just said how you love soccor and showed great enthusiasm towards the thing you are interested in, which I can see through every word. But build connections with your conclusion. How hard you tried, what uncertainties happened and how severely you were influenced and then stand up again.

Hope best progress. Cheers.
