I read the essays that helped get me a spot in MIT's class of 2024. These essays include topics such as songwriting, interest in chemistry, trying to be a good friend, high school sports teams, and life lessons from the tennis court. There's also some advice thrown in at the end if you're interested. Keep in mind while I read these essays that you should NOT try to use my essays as a template for your own. I have my own voice, but colleges want to hear yours. Use my essays for inspiration, but make sure your essays are unique and truly show your personality. That's what this is all about. If you're honest and genuine, these essays can go a long way in turning your college application into an acceptance letter :D

I really liked how you talked about the fact that when colleges reject you, it's not really based on whether one is a great student, but rather one that will be a good fit for the specific college. Thanks a lot for making this inspirational and amazing video!

[jessechoe]

Ah, I can see why you're a great fit for MIT.

[CincinnatisFinest]

This is the face of our future. May all the good come to you young man.

8:01 - 8:21 is literally what's been in my head for the past few years spelled out for me. No more excuses now

I feel like your advice on finding yourself is also a really good analysis of the human condition. Our experiences are our own and the what and how we convey it is our most valuable asset.

ok enough procrastinating I'll totally start now thanks

Ive read that MIT wants students who aren't afraid to fail; who are determined and committed and won't be let down by failure in the end. I think this coincides with your Tennis essay video. Without any prompts you stated how a major life changing experience was learning to deal with the act of failing. Makes sense you got into MIT following this claim good job dude

[MrTalcoh]

Thank you dude, I'm not applying for college yet but this was very interesting to watch.
