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
