<p>With the Dec. 1 deadline coming up soon, I'm at that stage where each time I look at my essay it becomes more and more mediocre, so I was wondering if anybody could spare some time to give me an honest analysis of my personal statement so I could tighten it up as much as I can before I send it off. I won't send it to people who are applying this year, but anyone who has gone through the whole college process is welcome to take a look. I really appreciate it! :)</p>
