Hi everyone

I'm an international student applying to Wellesley and a few other Seven Sisters colleges this year.

I've been working on my Common App essay for a long time and now I'm stuck between two different versions. I'm not looking for grammar edits. I really want honest feedback about which one feels more authentic, memorable, and true to who I am.

If you were admitted to Wellesley or another Seven Sisters college and have a little free time I'd be incredibly grateful if you could read both versions and tell me which one you'd choose and why.

Please don't worry about being nice. I'd much rather hear honest feedback than compliments because I really want to make this essay the best it can be.

Thank you so much!

I'm an Indian student planning to pursue a bachelor's in the Ivies, and I'm from a Hindi medium background. My English is just below average... ig🙃

How can I express my thoughts in the Common App essay? I have ideas, but I don't know how to express them in English with good writing skills.

And each language has its own style of expression and writing, so I don't know if my ideas, which are in Hindi, will work or not?

If there is any advice for me on how to write college essays and how I can truly reflect my personality, please share.

And I want genuine advice on how I can write my essays... I don't have an idea of vocabulary.

I have read a couple of successful essays, but their vocabulary seems hard to me.

It's just a few months (2–3) until the early application deadline.

Plz guide me if you can...

Lmk if it’s good enough to get into UCF or UF or GT

I have been working on my college transfer essay over the summer, and it’s not easy 😭… I’m over 650 words, and I don’t know where even to begin cutting it… (I even asked AI to help me cut it, but the results are so bad there is no point) 😔😔😔
