 Discuss your past academic achievements, including the process and skills
involved in your previous or current degree program!

For me, academic achievement is not only about trophies and certificates, but also how I achieve something using my
critical thinking and determined effort. During elementary school, I managed to keep myself as the top 5 of the class
every year for 6 years being an elementary school student. When I stepped into the Junior High School, I was always
in the top 10 of the class and succeeded in receiving the 8th highest National Exam score in my school. Likewise with
my achievement when I was in High School, being the 5th rank in the School Exam 2018, winning 3rd place in
FLS2N 2017 traditional dance and two grand prix awards in international dance competitions in 2016 and 2017 were
the best accomplishments I have ever received. I passed the SNMPTN selection process, became a law student in
Unpad and was able to maintain my GPA well until now. I always apply GRIT when I want to achieve my goals. If I
want good grades in academics and excel in dances, then both must also work alongside with the consistency and
balanced effort in order to make a good progress and result. I maximized the way I study in class, alongside with
dance lessons to reach my second goals. This of course requires good time management skills by making a schedule
and to do lists that I must obey, so that I could preserve my kind of academic achievements and that's what kept me
going through the process.

love for biology, Carrie is able to highlight how her past
experiences have assisted her in overcoming novel
challenges. This portrays her as a resilient and resourceful
Harvard problem-solver: traits that colleges value heavily in their
Essay students".

"We like to see how applicants learn, grow or change
from the beginning to the end - and Anthony rightfully
spends more time describing the hard work and lifestyle
of farming and what he learned from this experience."
