Applicant's Advice
"Start early on essays and write in your own voice about what you're genuinely passionate about. Don't do ECs just for applications - most successful ones were personally invested. Don't fixate on dream schools or idealize colleges before experiencing them. Keep your mind neutral and fall in love with schools after getting in. Don't fixate your entire life on college - spend time with loved ones and make memories."
