The idea of writing 100 essays, that sounds overwhelming.
voice-verified
I just broke out into a cold sweat.
voice-verified
But you don't have to write 100 essays.
voice-verified
So I typically recommend that students write between 5 and 10 essays.
voice-verified
A lot of these applications are asking the same question or a similar question.
voice-verified
You recycle them, basically.
voice-verified
So you have your core essays.
voice-verified
About seven core essays.

And then each time you have a new application, you kind of go through your Rolodex of essays and say, OK, which essay is closely related to this question?
voice-verified
And then you can reuse it on future applications.
voice-verified
So it's like once you filled out a few scholarship applications, the process gets easier.
voice-verified
You can reuse those materials.

How do you stand out?
voice-verified
Well, one of the things that first came to mind, too, just with like writing these different essays, especially if you're talking about your faith, get feedback.
voice-verified
Ask several people for feedback on these essays.
voice-verified
So whenever I was applying for one of the most competitive scholarships that I won, I literally asked like seven people to look at my essays.
voice-verified
I asked English teachers.
voice-verified
I asked mentors.
voice-verified
I wanted people to tell me, does this resonate with you?
voice-verified
Does this move you?
