These last 2 days I've been working on my college essay and I have made some amazing progress. Wednesday nigh there was an event held by the U of R side of Hillside. The event was at 46 Prince Street. When we got there they fed us some subs and chips and stuff but we were there to work on the college essay. There was this guy, named Anthony, who works in admissions at U of R. He was our guide for the night. He showed us am example college essay that they thought was great, and he told us some fact about the school.
U or R receive about 13,000 applications, 3,000 people get accepted, and only about 1,300 people actually go to the school after being accepted. There you go, 1,300 people goes to the schoolo. If you want to be one of those 1,300 people in your school you better be on point, and by that I mean your essay better be on point because that's the only way the school is going to know you.
Anthony taught us about hooking your reader, you need that hook that is going to make your reader stay interested in you for the time being. I chose my hook to be a cell phone. So in my essay my cell phone takes me through my day. My alarm wakes me up in the morning. Text/messages and calls gives me info throughout my day and my emails are sent to me telling me the formal things I need to know.
I chose a cell phone because I'm looking to go to RIT for engineering, technology is what I'm mostly looking at right now. I would love to know how phones or other pieces of technology is made into such great pieces of work. And if it's possible I would love to go to RIT and end up creating the next phone that becomes a trend within the world.
