Hey, I'm a junior and starting to work on my college essays. Does anyone have examples of successful UMich supplemental essays that they're willing to share? I want to get a sense of what made them stand out. Thanks in advance!
You're in luck: CollegeVine has a blog post which not only presents two successful Michigan essays written by real students, but also breaks down what makes them work, plus things that could have been done even better!
