Listen "Essays that got us into Yale and Washington and Lee | ADMITTED S5 EP28"
Episode Synopsis
ADMITTED is The Classic's premier college admissions podcast, where we sit down with Townsend Harris seniors and discuss the essays and strategies they used to get into their dream schools. In this episode, you will hear from class of 2025 alumni Jasmyn Pillay and Jenney Huang and their journey to being accepted into Washington and Lee University and Yale University, respectively. Jasmyn, in her personal statement, shares her background from Guyana and the opportunities she gained by joining robotics and learning programming; ultimately, going back to Guyana, and started Project HOME. Jenney, in her supplemental essay, shares her experience when she had her cast removed, a reflection of her fascination of biomedical engineering.
