by EssaySnark - Discusses

($) “How much should recommenders material overlap with the stories I relate in my essay?”

by EssaySnark - Discusses

We got a question posed on the blahg that we coulda sworn we’d answered directly here at some point, but a search turned up nothing. We’re going to repost this because we know that not everyone reads the ‘snarchive and even when they do, they don’t always look at the comments. Here’s what we were…

by EssaySnark

Writing essays is hard. There are many common mistakes that pretty much everyone makes — which we cover all the time here on the blahg, but we know that some of our posts are fairly far back in the snarchive at this point and unless you’re a total obsessive, you probably won’t read the half…

($) Look back over your life

by EssaySnark - Discusses ,

Writing essays may be akin to navel-gazing. You need to understand who you are and where you’ve come from.

It’s…

($) “Is this an accomplishment?” plus a mini-rant in response to a question about Yale’s commitment essay

by EssaySnark - Discusses

We had a BSer ask us about being vegetarian last year during our work in their Complete Essay Package — it’s something that means a lot to this person and they were wondering if it would serve as an accomplishment? They were also worried if it would be a turn-off to the adcom. They were…

by EssaySnark - Discusses

One of those “Hey EssaySnark gimme some help and do it for free!” requests came in the other day and we were like, “PEOPLE DON’T YOU KNOW THAT THE DEADLINES ARE HERE?!??” We really don’t have time to do these free reviews right now.
