Why Essays Matter So Much

01
Reveals your unique voice — not what you think admissions want to hear
02
Shows growth and reflection — not just achievements
03
Connects every piece of your application into one compelling story
04
Master how to balance genuine engagement with building a competitive Ivy-ready profile
