Undergraduate / 'Pre-law studies' - How did you hear about Franklin and Marshall and why did apply? [2]

brilliant attempt!!

but do a few corrections:

1)Franklin and Marshall offersthe programs that broaden and develop ..

2)This left me with no option
please change this phrase- it sounds as if you're being forced into doing something you dont want to even though you've clearly mentioned why-

3)The advice my friend gave me ...

4)The way the programs are organized and offered would enable me to successfully pursue a career in law and government.
please change this last line because one you've already mentioned the programs e.g. law- and that this last lines resulting in a bad last impression--instead show an enthusiastic last line which clearly screams I WANT TO COME TO FRANKLIN MARSHALL--- something like 9or maybe do this):

The advice my friend gave me was very central to the development of my interest in Franklin and Marshall. Perhaps what was more important was the college's website- I discovered that Franklin and Marshall was a prefect match for me in relation to my goals and ambitions. I therefore, look forward to becoming a part of this great institution.

Undergraduate / 'Naturally indicisive person' - Why Duke? [7]

why you consider Duke a good match for you.

please keep this in mind while revising your essay

i totally agree with Whitney Woodhull because even though ure describing how dukes all great for you youre in no way assesing your own potential except maybe in the first two lines

so talk about yourself and and through your own qualities asses and parallel those of duke

good luck

Undergraduate / Emory: why a good match "To Be the Best" [5]

Emory gives me the experiences and knowledge for not only the technical aspects, but also the practical skills needed to establish myself at the top of my field

change this into:
Emory will provide me with the experiences and knowledge that will not only hone my technical skills but also my practical skills that are needed to establish myself at the top of my field

also on a more general note
your essay is only about how emory's the best for you it doesnt have anything regarding why you are the best choice for emory

i have told other people and i will repeat it for you as well:
when they say why emory? think of it as why Duo Zhang?
parallel their qualities with that of yours to show you're the perfect match

goodluck
good try

Undergraduate / Whitman College Supplement: Diversity Through Experience. [5]

I've realized that each individual, although different in their experiences, all share common motives. Like a DNA strand, when combined with other strands, a living organism is created.

ok you can do this ;

I've realized that each individual, although different in their experiences, share common motives- like a DNA strand where each strand is different and yet, complementary to the other- hence, creating a coherent whole.

i hope i made sense.

goodluck

Undergraduate / NYU PERSONAL STATEMENTS , Major and Famous New Yorker [4]

change "I admire how he turns failure to success." into
"I admire how he turns failure into success."

but generally your first answer is very vague
when they say write about a new-yorker
their not trying to measure that persons greatness but yours--you need to highlight yourself more
be more comprehensive as to why u want donald trump --how he relates to you-- try highlighting your own qualities by the help of donald trump

like maybe instead of just stating donalds quote...try somehow answering it via your life experiences or something

goodluck

Undergraduate / Leadership, knowledge, creativity - Brandeis University Supplement [13]

"Instead, it challenges me like an enemy proudly displaying his full strength."

this should be :
Instead, it challenges me like an old enemy proudly displaying its full strength.

also try rephrasing full strength--it somehow doesnt sound appropriate--good try

Student Talk / Do colleges know about EssayForum? [39]

same i dont think its plagiarism at all
i mean once i was completely stuck at this one prompt i opened this site and went through other ppls work to understand how to go about the prompt---my answer was completely different but this website helped me a lot when i got the writer's block!!

hence,, please dont copy stuff cuz ppl might be applying to same colleges at the same time and the examiners can clearly differentiate who's work it was in the first place

Undergraduate / Smith essay! (Is a women's college still relevant in 2009?& WHY SMITH.) [2]

"So there I met Smith College and surprised"

so there i met smith college alumni?representatives and was surprised.

"I knew that living on Smith campus is like
living in a palace; I knew that the prof"

I know that living on Smith campus will be like
living in a palace----dont write in present tense youve not lived there yet so dont write "knew" write know everywhere else aswell

"ew Smith is my choice: it's a warm family converging diversities and versatilities."
this sentence doesnt link up to the rest because you havent talked about the versitality or family and youre just bluntly stating stuff --rephrase last line

and

1.When Smith College was founded in 1871, there were few educational opportunities for women. Is a women's college still relevant in 2009? (Limit response to 150 words)

In 1871, women could hardly get equal opportunities of higher education as men did. Though women's position has been greatly enhanced, lots of women's rights to education still get ignored. When I came back to my father's birth place, a deprived village in the northern China, I found barely had girls in my age received education like I did. They became wives while urban women entered colleges.

In this era, women's college aims more than educational equality. It assists women realize their dream of becoming writers or leaders, etc. It helps us know how to make difference with our inner potential. In the place where we are the centre and carefully attended, diversities stand out above the similarities we share.

in this one esp in the las tpara add yourself into it stop stating facts without somehow relating yourself or saying i becuz a lot of girls might tthink that you need to show how uve been effected and hence why u think a girls college is necessary

im applying here aswell goodluck =D
