Hello guys! I just finished my common app essay and it’s about 50 words over the limit and I’m not sure which parts to delete, or if it’s any good at all. I would love you to have your opinion, please let me know if it’s ok to PM you!
**random note but I’m probably applying to Columbia for ED if it helps
I will look at it. Just copy and paste it into the pm. Google doc links don’t work.
FIRST though, please get rid of fifty words. No point in looking at an essay that’s too long.
I could help with the essay. Just know the most important key to an essay is to have a nice flow that makes the admission officers hungry for me and memorable.
With all due respect to the previous poster, please PM your essay only to adults with an established posting history. @Lindagaf is a wonderful choice.
Newly graduated senior here, and I agree with @bjkmom. Adults will be the ones reading your essay, so their perspective is the most useful IMO
