4 Tips for a Successful School Year!

I am quite aware that many of you have already started school. But many of you are starting school soon, and I just want to give you some quick advice. 

1. Keep up your grades!
It still surprises me that your grades matter from 9th grade! It's crazy! As you start this school year, remember that your grades count! Continue to stay focused and motivated!

2. Advance your college resume
This is highly important. Universities are looking for leaders and helpers. Try starting a club that sparks your interest. If starting a club is 'not your thing,' play a sport or an instrument. Community service is also an important factor. Volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food pantry -- show that you care for your community. If you are looking for more ideas on how to advance your college resume, check out this page in my blog: https://premedhighschooler.blogspot.com/p/advancing-your-college-resume.html

3. Be Yourself!
Don't let others define who you are. Be yourself and be proud too! Find the perfect friends who will encourage you and like you for who you are.

4. Have fun!
Many people forget to have fun during their high school years. They get too stressed out over maintaining good grades and getting great test scores. Although your grades do matter, try to remember that high school is not supposed to be a miserable place! Make new friends, try new things! So when you look back at your high school years, you'll have fun and happy memories.

1 Month at the University of Pennsylvania Update + Important Announcement!!

In light of the current college application season, I will be editing college essays for free (no strings attached!). If you want me to edit your essays, please let me know in the comment section below, and I'll reach out to you as to where to send your essays. Do not use the 'Contact' tab on the home page to contact me because it is currently not working. Like I said before, the best way to contact me is by commenting on this post.  I am a current freshman at the University of Pennsylvania (completely done with my college applications), and all essays will be deleted from my device after I finish editing them. Therefore, you do not need to worry about whether or not your essays will be plagiarized or used without your consent. I sincerely want to help you as much as I possibly could as you work on your college applications.  All the best! -Kristine __________________________________________________________________________________ Wow! I can't believe it has already bee

Where Am I Heading to College? (It's been a long time)

Hey guys!!! It's been quite a while since I last posted on this blog, and quite a lot has changed since then. The current state of the US and the world, with the coronavirus and the brutal death of George Floyd, is crazy. I hope you all stay safe and don't forget to wear a mask! I have been so inconsistent in posting on this blog that many of you have little to no idea where I am going to college. If you want to hear more about my extraordinarily unique college application and decision experience, please let me know! Anyhow, I know all of you have been waiting for where I plan to attend college this year. After all, I did not even tell you the schools I applied to... I am glad to say that I will be attending the University of Pennsylvania this fall, majoring in biology and on the pre-med track (obviously!). I am beyond blessed and grateful for this opportunity God has given me. I cannot wait to spend my next four years at Penn! As for this blog, I am no longer a 'pre
