Stage Preparing applicationsFocus Reflection + personal voiceType Demo scenario
The starting point
An activity list shows what the student has done, but not what they contributed, why it mattered or how their interests developed.
How guidance could help
- 01
Reflect on a few experiences in detail, including everyday responsibilities.
- 02
Identify evidence of contribution, growth and genuine academic curiosity.
- 03
Use feedback to make the student’s writing clearer while preserving their voice.
What useful progress could look like
Stronger reflection, a clearer set of examples and a more authentic starting point for writing.
