<p>Is it reasonable to go to a college of interest and ask an adcom to critique my essay before I submit my application?</p>
<p>Bump…anyone?</p>
<p>You know the adcom?</p>
<p>I don’t know the adcom, but I feel like they would be the best people to ask for suggestions because they are the ones that matter. Do you think they will accept?</p>
<p>If you mean just sending it to a random adcom, then no, I wouldn’t do it. That’s really not their job nor their responsibility.</p>
<p>No. It is their job to review your final application package, not to guide you in the process of applying (beyond giving you application advice specific to their school). It would be entirely inappropriate to ask an adcom to critique your essay. </p>
<p>You need a college counselor, a guidance counselor, a trusted English teacher, or a literary friend to look over your essay.</p>
