1.Your intellectual life may extend beyond the academic requirements of your particular school. Please use the space below to list additional intellectual activities that you have not mentioned or detailed elsewhere in your application. These could include, but are not limited to, supervised or self-directed projects not done as school work, training experiences, online courses not run by your school, or summer academic or research programs not described elsewhere.

Lost in Space - Harvard essay



Within the nuances of our Universe, not rarely do I find myself dazed when contemplating the elegance of our cosmic home and trying to find my place in it. Its visual and mathematical sumptuousness drove me to learn more about Modern Astrophysics and Mathematics through a Physics online course offered by USP, online lectures, books, such as "O Tecido do Espaço-Tempo", my favorite one, and even TED Talks since I was 14. With the knowledge acquired, lectures and Clube da Luneta give me the opportunities of heartening and galvanizing people with the mysteries of the Universe. Since 2016, I've been exploring, researching and theorizing in a deeper sense about the origins of our Universe and the Grand Unified Theory. This year, I also had the opportunity to explore Astronomy in the course taken in Harvard Summer School, which provided me mathematical support to dig dipper into the equations of Modern Astronomy.

Isabella, you must translate the meaning of the Spanish book, just in case the reviewer does not speak Spanish. An overview of the book will also be appreciated since these are books that may not be familiar to the person reviewing your application. An explanation is also required regarding the meaning of the Clube da Luneta. The Ted talks require one or two lectures that you attended online in order to characterize the kind of TED talks that you interest you in relation to your major. Aside from the translation of the club name, you have to describe the objectives of the club and what sort of learning activities you participated in as a member. I realize that you may be writing under a word constraint here so let me make this simple for you. Do not be so creative in your writing style. Just offer the required information directly. I realize that those countries that speak Spanish tend to use a romanticized version of the written text, as part of the culture and literary style of the country. However, for a college application, you can do away with the creativity in favor of brevity and direct information, which is more appreciated in the Western style of writing, specifically, in college applications.

Isabella, I definitely agree with everything @Holt has said!

Since 2016, I've been exploring, researching and theorizing in a deeper sense about the origins of our Universe and the Grand Unified Theory.
I know there's a word limit, but I think it'd be wonderful if you expanded on this as well!

Besides that, I think it definitely shows the breadth of your intellect and your drive to want to learn more!

I hope the rest of your application process goes well :)

Thank you @Holt and @roomonfire for your analyses.
As a general view, the words mentioned are in Portuguese, not Spanish - people normally get confused, because these are very similar languages.
