<p>Hopefully applying to go to college for a BS in game design(I know some people frown upon that, but I have talked to a few companies including Blizzard, etc and they said they recommend that), I've given this a lot of thought and was hoping someone could help me out :) thanks!!</p>
<p>Sure, I can help you.</p>
<p>Hey! Thanks for replying! I’m not sure if the essay is very well written as I haven’t written an essay in quite a while… It’s been a few years now so I’m rusty… Also, I unfortunately cannot PM until I have 15 posts, and I wanted to submit the essay for the application before the first of January… Should I post the essay in this thread?</p>
<p>no, you shouln’t</p>
<p>Just get to 15 posts or post your email. I wouldn’t recommend posting the essay in the thread.</p>
<p>“Think about security before you post… on College Confidential or any other place on the web.”</p>
<p>^agreed, but I wouldn’t post my email, since it is also personal info.</p>
<p>Wow, good point… Obviously I’m not thinking tonight lmao. I guess if anyone wants, they can email my old email address I don’t use anymore? davejohnson1780@**********.

<p>lol</p>
<p>I’ll be happy to read your essay… But I’d prefer you PM me the essay. As others, and I, suggest, do not post your essay in this thread. Remember, as the Jan. 1 deadline approaches (it’s only 4 days away), people get desperate, and for some, the desperate times call for desperate measures, and surely, plagiarism will be the most common of them.</p>
<p>Alright, I’ll try to get the min post amount(shouldn’t be hard). Yeah, I suppose people may plagiarize an essay online that hasn’t been used.</p>
<p>is your essay the main common app essay?</p>
<p>or is it a supplemental?</p>
<p>I don’t think it is, the college’s online application just has it’s own page where you type/past an essay into a box. They give you a couple essay options. You can either write about a topic of your choice, or, for programs like game design, they recommend discussing why you are interested in going into that field and include any skills or reasoning why they should be accepted. I somewhat actually forgot about the essay completely recently, so I’m not sure what the common app essay is (I probably sound stupid here)</p>
<p>Is it the one with the 650 word limit or the one for the specific college?</p>
<p>Both the options are for the college, it just says there’s a 300 word minimum. I didn’t find much about the essay until I got to the part in the application to submit it(it’s at the end), but on the college’s website it just says to apply, you have to submit an “application essay”. It’s a state university, if that makes any difference…</p>
<p>then it should be fairly simple. just make a rough draft and have others help you to make it more concise.</p>
<p>Yeah I have the essay finished, I just hoped I could get someone else’s opinion on whether it’s decent enough to submit. I have the grades to get into the school, I’m actually transferring with around a 3.8 average gpa… but i just feel I didn’t do a very good job for some reason :|</p>
<p>Don’t worry… Chances are your essay is better than you think it is! And if that’s what you’re worried about, that’s why you’re having your essay looked over.</p>
<p>Yeah I suppose it could be lol. I’m usually good with grammar and that type of thing, but want so sure about the content and how it’s worded. I wrote it in first person and tried to avoid contractions just in case the reader prefers it like that… we’ll see soon :). I’ll send it to the people who posted in this thread unless they post not to</p>
<p>can someone also revise mine? Please PM me if you would.</p>
<p>pm me, i will!</p>
