  • Hi, everyone! Today, I share my supplemental essays for Stanford University. Enjoy!
    Interested in some free advice on getting into top tier schools like Stanford? Then be sure to take a look at collegeadvisor.com/lour-drick to meet with college advisers dedicated to helping you get into your dream college. If you have questions about any part of the college application process, the folks at CollegeAdvisor.com will be more than happy to help you. For everything from making college lists to editing essays, collegeadvisor.com/lour-drick can meet all your needs!
    After my Common App essay video, I've been getting comments asking me to share my supplemental essays for various schools. One of the most requested ones was for Stanford! I know that writing your college essays is a long and frustrating process, but my hope is that by sharing my own, I can give future applicants an idea of how to go about the writing process themselves.
    I had some pretty quirky essays. I wrote about BLACKPINK, Super Smash Bros, and Minecraft among other things lol.

      Hey don’t be stressed, just make sure you take care of your standardized testing like SAT and any subject tests required early on so that you won’t have to worry about them when you start applying to college.
