Essays
Has anyone else found the "Why MIT" essay the hardest one? I keep writing it and it sounds either too generic ("I love how collaborative MIT is") or too technical and resume-y. My mentor Priya suggested connecting it to a specific lab or class โ€” anyone done that successfully?

Mentor tip
Reminder for everyone in the Harvard REA pool: deadline is November 1. If you have a strong Why Harvard essay but a thin activity list, now is still the time to strengthen it. One impactful addition in the next 2 weeks beats padding with weak activities. DM me if you want to think it through.

JUST SUBMITTED CORNELL EA! 5 drafts of the "Why Cornell Engineering" supplement over 6 weeks with my mentor Sneha. It finally sounds like me and not a brochure. The deadline tracker saved me from missing the submission portal confirmation step โ€” I had no idea that was a separate thing. So grateful for this community fr ๐Ÿ™
