<p>The Common App comes out tomorrow, and like many on this board, I'm probably not the first to have started their college essays. I think I've got a decent handle on mine, but I'm starting to freak out, worrying if it is too long. Its currently 1,119 words, and I know I need to cut it down.</p>
<p>If anyone wouldn't mind taking some time and seeing where I can cut some things, I would really appreciate it. Also, if you have any ideas for changing the content, or correcting the grammar, I would also appreciate it. I'm just a little worried that after spending a while revising it, and letting one of my friends mark it up that its no longer sounding like me, so thats why I'm planning on concentrating more on length than content right now.</p>
<p>I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer! PM me please!</p>
