We’ve all had that moment where we finally finish and submit our essay a minute before the deadline. Well, you REALLY don’t want to be in the same situation with your college applications. In the second part of the two part series with Ms. Ava Maria Gencheva, we discuss the time management aspect behind college essays. Additionally, Ms. Ava introduces the concept of a personality score, where colleges take an abstract concept like personality and turn it in to a rubric that makes it easier for them to compare students. Finally, we talk about the common application, what it is, and how to make your own common app not so common. Enjoy!
