The problem is that for most kids, they decide that they like particular college precisely because of things like the location, the campus, the size, ranking, athletics, the town, majors offered, etc. This is why I think the "why College X" essay is perhaps the worst supplemental essay topic used by colleges as it invites students to write the phoniest of all the phony essays they are forced to write. "I am excited to study thermodynamics with Professor Cohen after reading his article Thermodynamics In The 21st Century in New England Science Journal" even though the essay reader will never know that I found this information via a Google search and the reader has no idea one way or the other whether I actually read the article (I didn't). Essentially, the students who are able to be the most effective BS artists will win the admissions game. And it IS a game.

Hi Ethan, great content as always. Will you please clarify your 2nd point at the end during the "3 ways to make sure..." segment? You mention that students should bold their reasons but you never state that they should remove these bolded points before submitting their final versions on their applications. On your CEG website's guide to the "Why Us" essays, you specifically state not to leave the bolded words in the final draft and that you only did that in the examples to highlight the context. I've had students argue that "Ethan told me to bold my reasons in his video!" and so I'm just requesting a definitive answer right here, please. :)

So, I am confused. Which one do you think is a better choice ? Plus, do uni prefer "why us" essay to other essays ?

It's your essay/application, so it's ultimately up to you. My advice to you is-answer the question(s) the prompt is asking. It's not always necessary to tie all your essays back to a sport or activity you engage in regularly. There are plenty of opportunities elsewhere in your application to make your point about those areas of your life. Try to keep your essays essential so that you're displaying what is important to you AND what the admissions officers are asking for.

What if you're interested in applying to a school that is located outside of the US? Would it be okay to bring up location then?

Maybe. It's ultimately up to you! The more specific you can get, the better. :)

After watched couple dozens of videos just realized something. Doesn't Ethan looks like Steve? If you instead of asking who is Steve and you just thought of Steve Jobs I believe he really does.

Hey Ethan! So I assume that you've read Geronimo Stilton(GS). I actually I know what I'll study but I've always been interested in exploring and I still am because I feel that there's a LOT o stuff I don't know about. So I am planning to write my essay - just like Geronimo Stilton goes on adventures exploring different worlds(I mean parts of the world) I wish to explore the areas of study/culture etc etc in their college. Also I want to study CS which makes me relatable to GS as that dude is a journalist and he still explores different stuff and integrates it into his work in the form of publishing articles, as I want to integrate the different fields if study I'll be exploring into CS - which in my case this essay will be for Cornell and Princeton. And so I wanna write my essay this way. What do you think about this? Would greatly appreciate an answer from you. And your advice has helped me a lot with writing my personal statement. Thanks PS: You can be a great beat boxer haha

@Collegeessayguy 2 года назад
Overall it could work! Just make sure you're relating the essay back to you rather than GS. Try outlining this topic to get a better idea if it'll work for you. :) Love the creativity!

Anything that is specific/unique to the school-- that way, whoever reads your essay knows you did some quality research. :)

Hello, sir! Excuse me, I think your website does not work in Kazakhstan. I tried logging in but that didn't work. That's why I had to use VPN
