Can Someone Review My Personal Statement?
Yo guys, need some help with my personal statement. I got a few drafts done and I’d really appreciate it if someone with admissions experience could review them and give me honest feedback on what to improve.
My goal is Ivies. Biggest issue rn is the SAT. Never took the real test yet, only did a practice test while barely focusing and got a 1000 💀. Been grinding since then and I'm taking it in August with a couple more attempts after that. Hoping for 1500+
My ECs aren't crazy like ISEF or Olympiads, but they're pretty solid and mostly related to CS, research, and tech. If anyone could also take a look at my EC list and tell me what I'm lacking or what I should work on before apps season, I'd appreciate it
I'm a rising senior btw. Also got a rec letter from a Stanford prof, and he basically told me to lock in on my essays and SAT
Applying CS mostly, though for some schools like Berkeley I might apply CE since I've heard it's a bit easier than EECS/CS
Appreciate any help 🙏
