The College Essay Guy Podcast: A Practical Guide to College Admissions

NOTE

Explore Beyond the Binary

When considering whether to disclose personal experiences, it's important to expand thinking beyond a binary decision. Instead of viewing it as choosing to write or not write about a major experience, brainstorm a variety of topics and interests that reflect one's personality. This approach allows for a more nuanced and comprehensive representation of skills, qualities, and values. Additionally, approaching topics through the lens of their potential impact on a college application can guide the decision-making process. The experience of crafting narratives in various formats, such as essays or op-eds, underscores the importance of determining the context and depth of disclosure based on the purpose of the writing.
