Undergraduate / 'academically rigorous atmosphere' - Umich supplement essay [2]

Hi :)
Your essay seems pretty good but I have edited a bit of the grammar. Also, I didn't get the last line - 'understanding how the world works'. Maybe you should replace that part with something else. You could also be a little more specific on the course/degree that you would like to pursue in the Physics Department.

Undergraduate / 'Being respectful and helpful' - the qualities of a good neighbor [2]

Hi,

I just read through your essay. The qualities of an ideal neighbor described are good but you could probably support it with an example for atleast one quality.

I also feel that the ending could be improved on a little :)

I think the beginning should be:

Since humans are sociable in nature...

The first quality that a good neighbor should have is to be friendly. If a neighbor greets you with a smile whenever you see him/her

It makes you feel that you can count on him/her whenever you need advice.

Another quality that defines a good neighbor is that he/she should be respectful.

Ending:
I believe that it is each one's responsibility to respect their neighbor's property as well as privacy...

Maybe you should replace the phrase 'good neighbor' with something else as there seems to be a lot of repetition.

Cheers!

Undergraduate / 'waste management in the Shrine' Essay: What should your teammates know about you? [3]

Hi,

I like the various points mentioned in your essay, but I feel that the essay is not directly answering the topic given, you could probably add the following:

1. Directly convey that quality of yours which your teammates would like to know in the first para itself instead of the last para
2. Mention what u wanted 2 achieve at the end of the trip somewhere in the beginning of the essay
3. I also feel that u could cut down on the description of the place a little and add a liitle more about urself/qualities that make u different.

Good luck :)

Undergraduate / Parsons Admission Essay - What influenced me to want to get into graphic design [5]

Hi,

I like your approach to the essay and do feel that it is a wonderful way to describe your interest in graphic designing. I just edited a couple of grammatical errors which I found.

My father was a youth ministry pastor that who used a different approach when (im not sure but won't it be 'while' instead of when?) preaching to us kids.

...attention and to communicate to with us better

Maybe u could put this sentence as the opening sentence to your essay : My interest in visual art began when I realized you could use illustrations to say anything.

Great Essay! All the best :)

Undergraduate / USC Viterbi Q/A -- 1) Experience In/Out of Class, 2) Embrace as a geek? [2]

Hi,

I just read through your first essay.

I think u can describe more about the inside/out-of-classroom experiences that u would like to explore. I like a few of the lines though.

I also edited a few parts:

Inside of the classroom, my fellow students and my teachers are my greatest assets, for they are the ones that who can help shape my future into a successful life.

Since USC is dedicated to nurturing its students to become asuccess successful.

I would like to start things off begin by...

Writing Feedback / 'English classes' - Favorite academic class [3]

I just went through your essay. I feel that you could mention a little more about how English has helped you and what differentiates it from the other subjects that you learn at school. Also, you could cut down on the 'research' part.

Overall, I liked your essay =)

Undergraduate / Engineering Leaders: Experience inside/outside of class -USC Suppelment [6]

Hi, I just read through your essay.

I feel that you could describe more on the experiences you would like to explore indoor/outdoor with greater detail. I have edited the essay, where I found a couple of grammatical errors. Here's the revised edition:

Engineers in various sectors, don't just solve everyday problems or work on computers or build the technology of today's world, rather they find alternate ways in which we they can enhance our world to make it a better place for everyone. They do so by finding ways to make certain hazardous jobs more safer for people to work and aim at increasing efficiency and specialization. As a student, I would like to have more hands on learning experiences in systematic design and implementation incorporates service design and aerodynamics...

I like a couple of the points mentioned though.
Good luck with your application to USC! :)

Undergraduate / Engineering Leaders: Experience inside/outside of class -USC Suppelment [6]

Your welcome! I guess if its the usual length of essays submitted, you could stick to this length. Maybe you could add just one sentence on how USC's degree is going to help you explore the indoor/outdoor experiences. Like what makes that degree different from the rest of the colleges.

I think all the grammar parts are fine.

All the Best!

Undergraduate / 'sharing a goal common to many immigrants' - Help OSU short answer [3]

Hi :)

Its a wonderful essay that you've written, which has really good transition. I just thought that you could add the line, 'Helping and becoming friends with people has been two of my greatest strengths.' somewhere in the middle, because that's the main point in your essay while answering the essay prompt. Also, describe in one sentence why it is something that you do really well that stands out from rest of your strengths/talents.

All the Best with your Application!
Cheers.

Hi Mariam,

It's really nice that you'd like to learn English =)

You could try reading newspapers everyday..even if it's only 10 minutes, you could start with shorter books and slowly progress to longer ones.
You could also try Wren and Martin High School Grammar.
Try to speak in English to one of your friends who know you well and will be able to provide valuable suggestions and corrections.

Don't get discouraged! Being self-confident is the most important thing :)

Here's hoping that you master English!!!! Good Luck

Hi Ruth,

I was wondering if you could write on 'Psalm of Life' by H W Longfellow or 'After Apple Picking' by Robert Frost. They are both wonderful poems and every line is symbolic.

Try to analyze the literal meaning as well as what it means to you and put forward your perspective as well.

Good Luck :)

Speeches / whether a big university or a small colleges - speech correction [2]

You are wondering either apply into large college or small college for your studyingwhether to study in a large or a small college ? In my opinion, small colleges are a better for you your choice. There are some reasons why I have to say that.

Firstly may be small colleges don't have many majors for students to choose(or don't offer many majors), but they bring to students many hands-on learning oportunities, focus on students' future careers. (I think you should rephrase the sentence cuz it seems like there aren't many majors, thus limiting one's scope)

Secondly,some ....

I think the sentences are a little disconnected. Stick to the same points or you could add a couple of them, but try rephrasing the para from the beginning...
