### Questions
|
|
- what kinds of teachers should I ask for letters of recommendation when there are more than two, should I try to find other outside people as well?
|
|
- Should the UC application answers be one story or more general each?
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
- common app essay
|
|
- doesn't have to be 650 words
|
|
- 550-625 is a good word count
|
|
- topic is good for common app essay
|
|
- students now enjoying material after understanding
|
|
- essay goes too long and there is a lot of repetition
|
|
- should try to cut down essay and not say the same thing again and again
|
|
- maybe leads reader to think I want to be a teacher
|
|
- tone that part down
|
|
- more about helping other people rather than teaching
|
|
- structure looks pretty good
|
|
- make it easy to read
|

|
|
- UC questions don't want stories
|
|
- they want interview-style answers
|
|
- often read by outside readers (high school counselors)
|
|
- might try to calculate UC GPA
|
|

|
|
- might not get engineering subsection you want
|
|
- change wording for university of Minnesota to make sure it doesn't seem pay to play
|
|
- "helped to" isn't as strong
|
|
- don't need to do optional recommenders
|
|
- readers generally want less
|
|
- only add another recommender if you think it will be helpful and add something new |
