Undergraduate / Common App short answer; "the only girl in a soccer team" [4]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate for your help! I have another question. Do you think I digressed? I did not elaborate how I engaged in a soccer team, but focused on how I challenged a "convention". Is it OK?

Undergraduate / College Essay A: Adam Savage impacted my life [4]

Although the prompt of this essay is to write about a person impacted you, but I still think you write too much about Adam. You wrote something about yourself, but just some sentences as "Then Adam Savage helped me realize how much I liked science and problem solving. This realization is exactly why I have chosen to pursue a degree in the engineering today."and"He taught me to never give up, and instead to problem solve, and learn from my mistakes." I can not feel what a person you are. It's too general. You may tell more things about yourself

Undergraduate / 'Yearbook staff and dancing' - COMMON APP [6]

In the first paragraph, you'd better indicate the topic you are gonna talk about. When I read your first paragraph, I thought you are gonna write about dancing. So I felt confused when I read your third paragraph about piano. You should indicate in the first period that you are gonna elaborate the different period of your life.

Undergraduate / Common App short answer; "the only girl in a soccer team" [4]

I feel terribly confused right now since I don't know if my answer has already digressed. I did not elaborate a game or why do I love soccer. Is this allowed? Please, I need your help!! Any suggestion is welcomed.

"Let me join you." I still remember my steadfast and unwavering tone.

A year ago, our school offered students extra sports activities. I loved soccer but never received any formal training. Skillful coach, excellent facilities, such a perfect chance to learn! However, when I first attended the soccer class, I found I was in an awkward situation: I was the only girl in that class. Everybody was staring at me just like I was a strange monster. Boys soon became friends,calling each other buddy and inviting each other to play a game. In the subsequent classes, I practiced alone, watching the boys chasing a ball ebulliently on the playground. All the enthusiasm cooled down; wishes turned into chimerical foam. I thought about transferring to another class, like gym or aerobics class, what people think a girl should attend.

I did not know what made me insist-maybe my passion about soccer, or the obstinacy inside my body. I finally stood in front of the boys and said with my loudest voice, steadfastly and calmly, " let me join you." Surprise, scorn, contempt, encouragement-I saw varies things on the boys' faces, but I did not care about them any more. The only thing I cared about is that I made a step and got what I want. "The only girl in a soccer team", weird but unique, right?

Undergraduate / 'my grandmother' - The Power of Nature vs Nurture/Common App [5]

Like the others, I like your topic:nature vs. nurture. That would be unique and attractive. I think you should focus on this topic more instead of developing too many things which do not have a close connection with this topic. You'd better focus on one or two things and elaborate them deeply. In addition, if you write more about your insights, the essay will be more profound.

good luck
