bro reads college admissions like a book

Extremely high-quality videos beyond the BIG consulting firms trying to only get you to buy their services dude amazing. I know you focus on essay writing a lot and have some videos that dive into other sides of the college admission process like the activities list but have you thought of a video about how to write your honors section?? Probably very similar to your video on activities but I think it would be really helpful, especially for questions like if you should be including stats/acceptance rates or more description in the 100 words

Keep it up!

What is weirder than dipping sauces in a closet?

I was willing to know, do you think something about the fact that "I can fall sleep if he whispers while study" is a good idea ?

Hey kelvin, I really love your content and I've been learning a lot of things from it. I wrote a roommate essay on how I love to discover new ideas, my love for music, football and movies, and also the necessary things she needs to know about me. But after watching this video I had an idea to write about my Christmas tradition as a Nigerian, after watching your video. I completed it already it involves my tradition, I'm also a cook, I talked about how I will cook, talked about how I want to attend events and explore traditons in college with her. But I don't know which of the essays to pick, I would have prefer editing it, but I'm from a low-income family. Which of the two do you think I should choose?. I'm one of your subscribers, so I will also be joining the live tutorial tomorrow, I will be expecting your reply, thanks😊.

Hey Kevin, this is an amazing video —thank you so much! This is a little off-topic, but what’s your favorite battle/who’s your favorite bboy? The first breakdancing video I ever watched was Neguin (my favorite) vs Lil G from Red Bull BCONE (2010). That said, I think my favorite bboy battle is Mounir vs Hong 10. Btw, your breakdancing is so good!!
