READING THE COMMON APP ESSAY THAT GOT ME INTO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

I'M OFFERING CREATIVE WRITING CLASSES THIS SUMMER!! www.myivyeduca...
Contact me for help getting into top colleges, college applications, essay, interviews, tutoring, extra curricular activities, and more! [e-mail]
Hi all! Today I'm reading the common app essay that got me into the Ivy League - specifically, my dream school, Columbia University, where I applied ED. I hope that my essay helps out any of you who are struggling, either this year or in the future! The essay is really your chance to come alive for your admissions officers, so you don't want to pass up the opportunity to make it as strong as possible.
My common app essay certainly wasn't perfect, and yours will be sure to look very different from mine. That's completely fine and normal! So long as you tell your story and put in your best effort, your personal statement will be incredible. Just be sure to get people to proofread it before submitting! You can always get in touch with me at [e-mail] for help with college applications, as well as any other kind of application and academic or extracurricular pursuit.
Stay tuned for more videos on all things Columbia, applications, and writing! Next up, I'll be going into depth on my personal experiences with writing camps like the Iowa Young Writers' Studio and competitions like the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
I am an academic consultant and creator of the school My Ivy Education. I make videos to share the tips and tricks that I've learned along the way.

Krystle DiCristofalo // My Ivy Education can you tell me a little bit more about the social life/how students interact outside of class and school related situations?

[@krystledicristofalo]

For sure! Actually, would you like me to make a video about the social scene at Columbia? I feel like a lot of people say Columbia doesn't have a unified community, but in my experience, that couldn't be further from the truth. Students interact outside of class all the time! Residence hall floors can get really close (mine definitely is), and we'll hang out in our floor lounges and do fun things together. For instance, some people on my floor formed a band and played for the rest of us, lol. There are also sports games, which some people like to go to - my friends and I went to the first football game of the semester and then went to the Hungarian Pastry Shop afterwards (10/10 would recommend), and all sorts of clubs, which can help unite people with common interests. I play in the Columbia Orchestra, and it's always nice to catch up with some friends there each week. Your social life is exactly what you want to make of it!
