    Finally! Every single video talks about a spike, whereas this one actually gives you realistic advice that applies to most people lol. Could I connect all my extracurriculars saying communication was a common skill in each one btw?

    Our interests are almost EXACTLY the same omg.. I'm involved with/have interests in musical theatre, math, business, and neuroscience, too! Thanks for providing all of the helpful information about this topic! I think so many people try to center their extracurriculars around one main idea, but I also think it's critical to understand that taking an interdisciplinary approach is beneficial for real world applications, too!

      @DyllenNellis  3 года назад +2

      While I would love to, I don’t think I can because I want to respect the essay owner’s privacy! But I do handle grammatical errors, sentence structure, clarity issues, suggestions for cohesion and making connections, overall feedback!

    My extra curricular was mainly debate which I did since 8th grade and a club that I made in end of freshman year. We raised a toiletries drive in covid, food drives. Raised funds for Afghan refugees and victims of the Pakistan floods. Partnered with African library project and help set up a library in Kenya. I want to be a dentist. Have volunteered at free clinics and at the hospital not with a dentist.
    Don’t know how to make that through line.
    Can you help??

    I am not playing my sport for the first time this year because I got a job during the pandemic and I would rather work than play + my season is starting 4 months later than usual. Will this reflect poorly on me and look bad to colleges?

    • @DyllenNellis

      I don’t think it will reflect poorly but you should make sure to address that in your application!

    Hey Dyllen! I wonder how long it takes you to review an essay. Before using your service I would like to work a bit more on my PS, but my deadline is within about a month, this is why I'm asking. Thank you :)

      I only shared it with some of my schools that had an arts/innovation portfolio! All the other colleges only knew about it from the essay.

    Dyllen! I was going to submit my Arts Portfolio Resume tonight. When I went to go upload the resume, it said the deadline had passed, but the Arts Portfolio deadline is the 20th! Is this probably an error from when it was due on the 15th before it got updated? Should I wait until tomorrow morning and see if it's available before contacting the admissions office? I'm pretty sure I should be able to upload my material until the 20th. Thanks :)
