My life has always been synonymous to diversity. Being born in India and bought up in the United States of America, I had, and have, a miraculous opportunity to gain significant knowledge of traditions and cultures in both the nations. Due to my father's job, my family had to move several times, mainly during my adolescence; to cities like Boston, Los Angeles, Hyderabad, and Mahwah. During the process of these shifts in location, I had made many friends with contrasting backgrounds; this helped me grow as an individual and learn truths of life that are very essential for one to know. Friends in India have taught me the strong cultural prominence one should have towards religion. Likewise, friends in America have taught me ways to live life to the fullest. My friends in both, India and America have taught me how a ideal human should live life like. Therefore, I have accumulated various truths and skills of life during my family's location shifts. Those truths and skills have, now, have become a huge pile of valuable treasure that will guide me through tough times in the future. Rutgers, being an illuminatingly diversified college, looks like a place where I can truly bring out my ethnic values and morals to betterment of the whole community. My contribution to the already glorifying diversity would be to spread out the morals and values that I had learned from all these prophetic years of my life. I am certain that many people would benefit from my accumulated pile of valuable treasure. Rutgers will help me extend my understanding of life by providing me an opportunity to meet new people with different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, helping me increase the already big pile. The more diversity the more we learn is what my father always used to say and I clearly see the prominence of those words now. With diversity one can truly look at life with a broad range.
Can you guys give some helpful suggestions??
I don't if my essay is good or not...is this good enough???
Nice essay! Your experience is absolutely amazing. But maybe you should elaborate on how a particular culture influenced you, like how "Friends in India have taught me the strong cultural prominence one should have towards religion", and how that lesson shaped the way you do things, treat people etc. :)

Hello,
Your essay received a computer generated score of 59/100(see attached photo) and an editor assigned score of 50/100. The major issue with this essay is that you attempt to use "college" words, but do so incorrectly. For example, in your second sentence you state "miraculous opportunity." Was this really a miraculous opportunity? Miraculous is a very powerful word and probably should not be used here. Furthermore you go on to write "prophetic years of my life." Really? If miraculous was a 10 on a scale of 1-10, then prophetic years of my life is probably a 20 on a scale of 1-10. Remember, if you want to impress the admissions staff with your vocabulary, the best place to do so is on your standardized exam. Trying to cram so many SAT words into a college application seldom works. More often than not it makes the essay far harder to read and will cast doubt on your application as the admissions committee will not be forced to ask themselves...does this student have a strong command of the English language? You never want that to happen. Simple is always best. Lastly, talk more about the "truths" that you have learned and how you expect to continue to grow and share during your time at Rutgers. admissions essay advice
