    Thanks a lot! Can you share your set of supplemental essays by schools? It'd be useful to get a holistic picture of how you portray yourself to different schools as each of them have different "personalities". Thank you !!

    Hey Elsie! Great video, thanks for sharing. I am an international student and I was wondering if my letters of recommendation could be from someone outside of school, for example a teacher from a language institute that knows me well or, maybe someone I work for.

    • @ElsieInCollege
      @ElsieInCollege  3 года назад +3

      As far as I'm aware (I could be wrong so you should double-check) you are required to have 2 recommendations from school teachers and 1 recommendation from your school counselor, but if you want to submit another recommendation (in addition to the 3 that are required) then that one could be from someone like an employer. I'm pretty sure schools' policies on additional recommendations vary though, so some colleges will look at extra recs and some won't bother.

    Hii, I hope you are doing well, my name is Lilia and I will be going off to college in 3 years but I am already stressing out about college essays and am really trying to find someone who is willing to read my essays and give me comments on them in the future. Do you think you could do that?

    How did you apply to Harvard? I thought if you used questbridge application process you weren’t allowed to apply to any schools outside of that

    • @combot4128
      @combot4128 3 года назад

      Also great video!! I love your writing style

    • @ElsieInCollege
      @ElsieInCollege  3 года назад +2

      Nope! Actually, QuestBridge tells its applicants that they should apply to schools outside of QB since all their partner schools are so selective. The only thing you can't do is apply to another school through Early Decision if you also ranked binding schools as a finalist since then you would have 2 binding applications out.

    • @combot4128
      @combot4128 3 года назад

      Elsie In College omg. Thank you so much. Looking forward to apply to quest-bridge next year!

    • @combot4128
      @combot4128 3 года назад +1

      Elsie In College hey sorry to bother- so if I apply to non- binding schools only, through questbridge could I still apply to- let’s use harvard as an example; through their EA program? Just want to make sure I’m getting it right. Thanks

    • @ElsieInCollege
      @ElsieInCollege  3 года назад +5

      @@combot4128 So sorry, I double-checked and you actually CAN'T apply early action to any schools besides your public state school. But during the regular decision round, you can apply to any schools you want (as long as you weren't matched to a binding school obviously) even if you are also applying to schools through QuestBridge Regular Decision. I was a finalist but wasn't matched so I applied to Harvard during the regular decision cycle.

      I do read essays, but only when I have time. During the school semester I am too busy, but over winter break I have more free time to read them.
