Some Queries Answered

Raisa,

I hope everything is going fine. I know you are tensed - but every year I see that my young students are tensed and worried. So, I am not really too worried - except for one thing when this WORRY starts to hamper their working speed [not the Quality].

So, here are answers to your questions. 

1. For research papers I prefer to use recently published books on either Literature/History/Philosophy. You have one advantage here. You can use any of your literature/economics/extended essay/TOK assignments as the research paper for the colleges which ask for either a "Graded Paper", or "any other supplementary material". 

2. You MUST start writing why essays and look for the guidelines in the Application Blog. I have already been sent a few Y essays by others and I see that this year the essays are good.

3. Although you should send me the 150 essays ASAP, dont take it for granted that I will approve. So, dont spend too much time in perfecting it. Rather send me a few ideas from which I can choose the best writing item for 150 essay. Remember that 150 essay was NEVER 150 - it had always been much longer.

4. For common app Main Essay - go for anything - take cue from the BLOG for how to GATHER ideas for essay - Writing comes later.

5. Hope to see fast response.

6. I am also posting this mail in the App Processing BLOG for others to see.
