Carnegie Mellon Supplement Essay

Founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1900, CMU began as a technical school but has since blossomed into one of the country's top national research universities.  Like any other top tier school, Carnegie Mellon turns away most of those who want to study there.  The 2010-11 acceptance rate was a measly 36% and with over twenty thousand applicants in the pool, standing out can be quite the trick.  Thankfully for nervous applicants, CMU also takes supplemental essay under consideration when making admissions decision.  The 2012 Carnegie Supplement requires that in addition to their Common Application personal statement prospective students must also submit a one-page single-spaced essay explaining why they have chosen CMU.  If you're feeling a little stuck or just want to make sure you really nail the Carnegie Supplement, we're here to help.

Flashpoint enables students to work individually with a top writer or editor to conceptualize, draft, and revise a perfect response to the Carnegie Mellon supplemental essay requirement.  Regardless of whether you're in need of a minor polish or you can't quite figure out where to start, we offer a package designed to meet your needs and help you gain admission to Carnegie Mellon and other top universities.  We believe that we offer the best writing and editing services you will find anywhere.  In fact, we're so sure of it that we stand behind all of our work with a total satisfaction guarantee.  Your writer or editor will guide you step by step through the writing process and provide as many revisions as you feel are necessary.  We won't stop working until you tell us your statement is perfect.  At Flashpoint, we know the difference that self-expression can make and we pride ourselves in helping to create personal statements that change the way you are seen by admissions committees.
