Ideas to Consider

  • Consider going to our video testimonials page and use other people’s ideas to inspire what you might like to share.

  • So far, we have tags that include:  pressure, anxiety, branching out, social life, what matters most, grades, perfect, awkward, failure, success -- perhaps some of these relate to you, or suggest your own!

  • If none of these resonate, think about what makes you unique, and how you have experienced Princeton. When you look back at your time Princeton, what stands out as particularly challenging?

  • Some questions we have asked previous students include: what is the hardest moment you have experienced at Princeton? How have you dealt with failure or rejection here? What are insecurities or doubts you currently face? What are some examples of times you haven’t thought you were good enough?

  • Write a poem, song, short personal anecdote, and even feel free to submit a painting or a drawing. Be as creative as you like!
