Anyone want to critique my two common app essays?

<p>I'll admit they're pretty terrible, but maybe someone can make suggestions on how to improve or maybe that I need to rewrite the whole thing?</p>

<p>Please no 08ers, I can't risk that for the common app.</p>

<p>I'll give them a read if you send them over.</p>

<p><em>bump</em> any other people?</p>

<p>um, i will but i'm an 08er common app (ED though) , so if your RD to anywhere but cornell, i can read yours.</p>

<p>I'd be willing to read them, but I am an '08er.
(I didn't use the Common App for any of my schools, though...)</p>
