“The revisions took real work, but eventually I could read my application and recognize myself in it.”

Every time I reread my essays, I wondered whether my experiences were impressive enough or whether I should start over with a completely different topic. I spent so much time imagining what an admissions officer wanted that I lost track of what I actually wanted to say. That's one of the reasons that applying to Harvard brought out a lot of self-doubt. However, my adviser listened to me so much and helped me recognize the meaning in experiences I had taken for granted. The revisions took real work, but eventually I could read my application and recognize myself in it. Getting accepted was unforgettable and I’m super grateful for my advisor.

“I still had to put a ton of work, but I still felt supported.”

That's why applying was difficult for me, cause of the time management. Between classes, extracurricular commitments, different application requirements and everything, I constantly felt like I'm forgetting something. Even when I was working hard, I wasn’t always sure I was spending time on the right things. But then my advisor helped me so much by breaking up my work into smaller steps, setting priorities, he also made time for feedback before deadlines became late. So I especially appreciated knowing who to ask when I got stuck. I still had to put a ton of work, but I still felt supported. Receiving my Northeastern acceptance was such a happy moment after months of work. And that's why I have a lot to thank for my advisor Max Hong, he's the best.
