The required length of Essay1 for Bucknell was 250-650 words. The rough draft was 260 words, which was not long enough to address the prompt in an appropriate manner. I had to revamp the original version to provide a 'hook' in the intro, and to implement a better flow to the essay. The rough draft also lacked interesting vocabulary, and a strong conclusion. The short essay for the common app was also asking for up to 650 words. Leah struggled with this topic so I had to have a few discussions via text with her to obtain more information regarding what the prompt was asking--Why do you want to transfer and what are your expectations. The explanation regarding her major was the 3rd essay that needed edited and shaping. The Richmond supplement had no length requirement, and the rough draft only contained a minimal about of words, which meant I had to do a significant amount of research on what resources were available to undergrads pursuing pre-med and explain how leah planned on utilizing them to reach her ultimate career goal. This was quite time consuming.
