<p>Would anyone on here be willing to let me read their college essay that already got them into top schools? I"m applying to schools like NYU, Northeastern, Fordham, Columbia, Boston U, SUNY Binghamton, and a couple others.</p>
<p>I know I may be asking a bit much. I'm having a lot of trouble writing my college admissions essay, and I think that if I read a good one, I would have a better idea of how to approach it. I'm writing common app essay #1: Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you. I SWEAR I WILL NOT STEAL YOUR ESSAY AND PASS IT OFF AS MY OWN. Please PM me if you would be willing to help me out.</p>
<p>Also, how do you guys feel about my topic: My minor experience with Hurricane Katrina, and how it has changed my view on human suffering and how things can be taken from you in an instant. I wasn't right in the storm, but I was in Atlanta when it hit and stuck in the airport because we couldn't get out, and I was worried to death about my family that lived in the New Orleans area (one person we couldn't get in contact with), which I have quite an affinity for.</p>
