It is about that time in senior year where all my biggest decisions are about to be made. Yea, I'm filling out college applications. Here are my current MAIN choices in ranking of how badly I want to attend:
EDIT: I'm majoring in Physics if that matters
1. University of Washington in Seattle
2. Purdue University
3. New York University
4. University of Pennsylvania
5. Georgia Tech
6. University of Pittsburg
and these are backup schools - the ones I'll apply to just in case ALL of the above deny me. No particular ranking here, because all of them are schools that I rrreeeaallllyyy don't want to go to:
1. University of Tennessee Knoxville
2. Tennessee Tech University
3. Pace University
All of the above had 80+ percent acceptance ratings.Now, I have not had ANY help with college essays. My counselors say they'll go around classrooms and help students out in January, but I think that's arbitrary and stupid, because most of my college applications are due months before then.
So - could I get any advice?
What do these college essays look for, what can I do to not be generic, etc?
Please and thanks
