  • Required Elements

  • Stanford’s Unique Short Essay (100-250 words)

  • Short Questions (3-50 words)

    • Rather than asking for feedback and improvement, it seems like I should brainstorm as much as possible.

    • What is the most significant challenge that society faces today?*

    • How did you spend your last two summers?*

      • 2020: Mito, Tatsujin, related studies
      • 2021: gkadc/CCC, IB studies
      • I see, if I didn’t do anything in the summer of 2021, I would have nothing to write about.
      • How should I provide different information from CommonApp Activities?
        • Show the connection between Mito and CCC
        • Something like “I was involved in creating both”
      • I want to create interest from the contrast between technology that can’t be distinguished from magic and demystifying technology.
      • If possible, I want to show my contribution to the CCC community as well.
    • What historical moment or event do you wish you could have witnessed?*

      • Something like the Dawn of the Internet?
      • Technological developments during wartime
      • Tokyo Olympics 1964
      • Is this limited to the past?
      • Apollo

        • But should I mention it in the previous question as well?
      • I’ll decide on this later, or maybe World of Fog?
      • Possible options:
        • GKADC
        • Dojo
        • Tatsujin
        • Edmodo
        • man10
    • Name one thing you are looking forward to experiencing at Stanford.*
