Undergraduate / Canadian idol; VT Common App -Best day of my life? [6]

In my opinion I think the college which gave you this prompt wants to get to know more about you, probably how some of your actions have to led to what sort of person your are, but from your response the only thing I was able to learn was that your idol is Justin Bieber...if either way you decide to still go with this essay you should probably write also about how some of the ways Bieber acts or whatever he does that makes you be his follower, after all what a college is really looking for is getting to know you.

Undergraduate / Religion, the watchful protector along the path; Harvard/ Topic of Choice [21]

I see there are already tons of comments in regards to this essay ..but what I wanted to point out is that throughout your essay you started your sentences with "but" and "and". I've barely read your previous comments but got to read that several people read your essay before you submitted it , and am quite surprise that no one told you that you should never start sentences with the words I've previously pointed out.

Writing Feedback / 'organise yourself' Should teenagers work while they are students? (TOEFL) [8]

don't use the he or she.. the first sentence is a run on sentence you could split it into two sentences..overall the essay is decent, when I did the toefl I don't remember having a word limit so if you don't have one you should make your conclusion longer and create a thesis which you try to mention at the end of each paragraph and serves to sum up everything at the conclusion.

Undergraduate / The land of opportunities; Berea Essay- Education+ Life experience Overview/ Plans [6]

The land of opportunities, the dream land, the land of luxury are just some of the names used to depict the United States. or something like that rephrase the end of the sentence

NEVERR start I sentence with but , rephrase the sentence

"Being quality education one of my main priorities..."

"Berea is the place where I will be able to improve my traits such as leadership, studentship, sportsmanship, all these contributing to being a better human being."

"I always dreamt about studying in USA. This is not just my dream, but also that of my parents."

"Unlike my father's side of the family, my mother's relatives are uneducated, some of them have barely completed high school and others have not even been able to reach such level of education."

" It is because of this that my family looks on to me as the person who will live up to their dreams, achieving all that they couldn't."

"But there has been always a great hindrance, money. This is the thing that has always prevented me, my family to get what we have wanted." Once again never start a sentence with but.

"Yet I have never complained and I never will"

"Despite this financial setback they have never failed to fulfill my wishes."

"Because of all these expectation from all these people including my parents I want to take the big step of getting educated at Berea" you can't start a sentence with because.

"I got to know about the undergraduate programs accessible for me at USA quite a while ago."

"My search went on only through the internet, till I found out about EducationUSA an organization which works under the US government which helps students, with the most updated and accurate information on higher studies in the USA."

"Why do I wish to be part of Berea? "

"As my main intention is to learn, I looked for all the advantages I have in Berea, and as far as I saw there are only advantages for me: everywhere." Rephrase

"The community I will get to be part at Berea will be perfect for me to flourish my volunteer and leadership skills."

But I am very lucky that with the guidelines of my adviser at the EducationUSA I found out about Berea. Again the same issue with starting sentences with but.

'I do plan to return to my country after the completion of my Bachelors, but that would be only for a short visit. "I plan on graduating in Engineering through the Dual Degree program or a Masters, back in the US."

Then wish to be head off to get a PhD in the field of Physics, the one that I would be greatly engrossed in while doing my Bachelors. The end of this sentence is confusing.

Overall I've gone over some of the grammar issues they are several verb tenses make sure to use the same tense throughout the whole essay. Some of the sentences should be rephrased I understand what you are trying to say, but they are not correctly written down. You should try to be more specific about why you want to go to Berea for example mention one of their courses and what seems appealing about it , or a research project that's well known at that college something like that. Still basically I just wrote down some suggestions you can still make some of the changes in the things I previously mentioned. Also don't use contractions I forgot to change that instead of writing couldn't write "could not".

Undergraduate / UAV-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles; My project @ UNION [14]

I've always been intrigued by robots, and though I have never built one myself, I have vastly read about them through the internet. Among the existing robots' categories, those which have caught my attention are UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. At first what appealed to me the most about them were their shape and design, but as I got to learn more about their given usage and their parts' functioning,my perspective on flights changed. I have been dreaming of a rhombus based design, which would allow for the UAV to stop in mid air and go towards any direction without actually turning. This consists on intializing thrusters so that they may move through all directions, while still producing the least of an aerodynamically sound and drag. With such traits, a UAV could be given a military use as its' chances of being destroyed by enemies during long turns would be diminished. From what I have researched, I have not encountered any UAV design as the one I have described, and knowing that I could be part of such a revolutionary project fills me with excitement.

Moon this is kinda a checked version you still can make it sound more like you, and apparently I cant answer you message because I haven't made comments in at least 15 college confidential posts so once I do that I'll reply your message.

Undergraduate / Volunteered @ Bondhushava in Bangladesh/ Right for LOVE - Lafayette C/"Cur Non"? [21]

yeah the acceptance rate at colorado is pretty low and now that you say that many people from your country are applying I'm sure things will be pretty competitive.. and yeah dont worry if your gpa and sat scores/toefl scores are good I'm sure you'll receive some good offers. My college confidential is dpmg94.

yeah i'll probablly miss that and besides at this moment I can't afford paying for all the scores to be sent to more school..so i'll just hope everything goes well. The other letters are my initials, and um M is my last name intials kinda for security I rather never write all my name down at forums haha.. The three I'm applying are considered to be some of the colleges that grant internationals with the a lot of aid trinity,cc,and one in ny

Undergraduate / Volunteered @ Bondhushava in Bangladesh/ Right for LOVE - Lafayette C/"Cur Non"? [21]

hahah yeah just my bad luck of not being able to go there but who knows maybe this time I get a pretty good scholarship hopefully, my name is Daniela ..and if the admission guy told you to not worry then just trust him I hope you get a great scholarship as well and if you don't get as much money as you need you can always appeal your financial aid I originally did that with union and lafayette, i got like 5 thousand more but still that was not enough , anyway good luck with what remains of the application process.

Undergraduate / Volunteered @ Bondhushava in Bangladesh/ Right for LOVE - Lafayette C/"Cur Non"? [21]

you must take into account the down side of early decision which is that if you are admitted the decision is binding and wont have the chance to compare the aid you recieve with that of other colleges, that's basically the reason why I have and am once again applying only during regular decision ..although obviously ED has its pros too like for example you are showing how much you wanna go there and that that college is probablly your main choice. Yess I continue too need a big amount of financial aid, i am now applying just to three and yeah they are pretty much around the top 50 liberal arts colleges.. also I forgot to mention that Im not quite sure if it it helps but I got to have an interview with lafayette through the phone you should try to do that since it shows your interest towards their college

Undergraduate / Volunteered @ Bondhushava in Bangladesh/ Right for LOVE - Lafayette C/"Cur Non"? [21]

they both offered me the same amount which was like 35,000 per year, which is because they both use the css profile which gave them the same estimate, the main difference was that part of your aid at lafayette is made up of loans while at union I didn't receive any loans which in a way is better because you won't have to pay for any money later on..I did regular decision for these two last year, and no i'm no longer going to apply to these two colleges this year, and yeah the time i applied to more than 15 I used fee waivers.

Undergraduate / Volunteered @ Bondhushava in Bangladesh/ Right for LOVE - Lafayette C/"Cur Non"? [21]

moon i needed a greater amount of financial aid so no im not at lafayette, i'm currently taking a gap year and replying to other colleges to see if i can get more money. I applied to over 15 colleges, but the ones the offer me the most were lafayette and union college( the one in ny) .. I guess you as most of the internationals are looking for a great amount of aid so remember that it depends on your family finances how much they'll offer you..it also has to do with your scores, my gpa was pretty good but my SATs scores sucked.. I think that if you have over a 2000 you can be consider to be a marquis scholar

" Children, turned skinny because of hunger, beg for food to the passer bys and to get rid of the children people aren't even hesitating for a moment to kick them." rephrase this sentence I get what you are saying but the end is kinda awkward

" I even saw my juniors and classmates getting kicked out of school just because their parents can't afford. " your juniors? also um rephrase this cause I understand english is your second language so it can be rough at time it would sound better something like this: I even got to witness the effect the lack of money had among my classmates, as some of my friends were kicked out of school as their parents were no longer able to afford such institution" not neccesarily this way but you get the idea.

" I have succeeded to enroll some of the children to my previous school with a scholarship."

But whatever I did has been a long journey. Never start a sentence with but or and.

I got accepted to lafayette last year and am also an international student, although I think remember reading this prompt I think you have other kinda easier prompt options

Undergraduate / I'm excited to be living with you/ Stanford / letter to roommate! [3]

On my opinion you should not just say you are random but emphazise under what situations you might be seen as random, also you are portraying yourself as a bit childish with the Disney interest NOT A BAD THING at all, you should also comment on how you are also aware of how you are aware of reality different things that make you a unique roomate
