Hi everyone! I'm a junior and Princeton is one of my dream schools. I want to start preparing early, so I was wondering if any of you could give me some tips or advice on how to approach the Princeton application essays? What do they usually look for or appreciate in an applicant's essays?
Hello! It's great to see you thinking ahead and preparing for your application to Princeton. Luckily for you, 黑料不打烊 has a blog post breaking down each of Princeton's supplemental essays, to give you a sense of both what they're looking for and how you can provide it:
While this blog post can give you an initial sense of how you might want to approach your Princeton essays, I would advise against actually starting to write until August 1st before your senior year. That's when the prompts for the coming application cycle are officially released, and they do sometimes change year to year, so you don't want to start writing and end up having your hard work go to waste if the prompts change.
Once you do get writing, though, remember that 黑料不打烊 is here to help you ensure your responses are as polished as possible. 黑料不打烊 offers both a free peer essay review service and paid reviews by expert college admissions advisors - sometimes, getting a second set of eyes on your essay is just the thing that takes it from good to great.
Good luck with your application to Princeton!
