Essays
–I think they’re pretty good but I know you can’t really judge your own essays. My teachers and counselors like them. My personal statement is light-hearted, humorous, and cute. My counselor is using my supplements as examples for next year’s students if that means anything ig.
I know it’s hard to tell without my portfolio and these chance-me thinks don’t really help but I’m stressed out and maybe this will calm me down or get me ready for rejection. I’m not expecting to get into any of these schools so I won’t be heartbroken lol.
Thank you!!
