I've gotten in to Wesleyan/W&L's fly ins, but I'm not gonna rank them. Don't get me wrong, they're great schools, but I just do not want to bind myself to these colleges. If I end up not matching to my top choices, I will apply. I'm only skeptical to also take away time from school and college apps...
What's the approach for this essay? Should I start with a hook, like a standard supplemental? Narrative based, fun writing? Or should I just be direct?
Im a rising senior, and stanford has been my dream uni for forever. I think I have the ecs/profile for the university, but I was wondering if anyone could look over my personal statement and the singular qb supp. It would be much appreciated!
Please 😭
For some context, I would consider myself to be an above avg applicant, but I don't really have any guidance in the admissions process. I don't know if I'm a strong enough applicant for ivies to the point where I only rank like 5 schools, or if I should just take advantage of the opportunity and rank as many as possible.
