Here, I weirdly display all the essays I used for my undergrad and grad school applications!
I got wait listed or rejected by most of the schools I applied to (20 or so). 💀
At some time between, I decided to apply to UofPeople cause I watched a TED talk about it but then after I got accepted and tried out the actual platform, I found it kinda wasn't for me. 💀
Then, 3 years later, there was a 180, and I got accepted to all the grad schools I applied to (10).
Not too surprising since grad school acceptance rates are usually a lot less competitive but it was still nice.
You'll notice that I basically used the same base template for all of them with a few changes.

Personally, I still think both undergrad and grad school were completely unnecessary routes for me to take but I didn't want to regret it later so hey - c'est la vie! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
