Undergraduate / "A wannabe millionaire, tuba enthusiast, and car fanatic" 250 word limit essay [12]

I like your 250 word essay.

I don't want to sound like the " archetypal"* nerd, but I've read a whole edition of World Book Encyclopedia in a week. I constantly dig for new information and I can't get enough of it.

*The need of quotation marks are not needed, if you were to omit the word archetypal then quotation marks would be appropriate on the word nerd

Good luck.

I like it. Glad to help.

Undergraduate / 'the pro at relaxing' - the world within-Tufts supplement [5]

So you want to know who I am, huh, Tufts? Well, to start off, I am very energetic person by nature and am often engaged in random, spur-of-the-moment activities: baking muffins in the middle of the day, inventing crazy dance moves, occasionally even bursting into song. When all my energy is burnt out, however, I'm quite the pro at relaxing. I love going to Barnes & Noble and plopping down in a fluffy chair with a good read in one hand and a caramel macchiato in the other. My favorite things to read are periodicals-anything from Time to People to Psychology Today-though I'm also a good fan of the "bestsellers" section. If there's one thing you ought to know about me, it's that I'm a knowledge freak-I love to feel like a sponge, absorbing as much information as I can. I enjoy reading textbooks for fun (yeah, I'm a nerd) , and I have copies of The Duke Encyclopedia of New Medicine and Psychology 101 in my room. I think they're interesting, but maybe that's just because I'm weird. Another thing about me is that I have a knack for English movies. Have you seen An Education or Notes on a Scandal? If you haven't, you absolutely must! They are wonderful movies, and I think that they're best enjoyed with a pint of Ben & Jerry's ( ice cream makes everything better) . Anyways, that's about all I can tell you in 250 words. Hopefully you think I'm "Tufts-y" enough!

I loved it but consider changing you 's into "one" (for example "if one were to watch the movie..."). Other than that I enjoyed reading your supplement. Good luck.

Student Talk / How to speak English fluently and correctly? [62]

Read the newspaper more often; in my area i would prefer a newspaper like The New York Times.

Undergraduate / Why I Love Physics- Common App Essay [2]

I loved your essay but remember colleges are looking for an essay that reflects who you are, why you want to go to college, and what you have to bring to the table. Write an essay about a life experience, write about something that has impacted your life. Make colleges see that you are needed at their college. You and I are in the same boat so I know what it feels like to feel a writers block. Take a walk out side or look at old memories taken by your parents when you were a young child. Become inspired.
