When I submitted, I thought my essays were drop-dead knockouts; although the Stanford rejection today really shook my essay self-confidence, I’m still gonna say that they’re 9.5/10. Although I did have a typo in the first sentence of my second one. Hope that doesn’t kill me.
Anyway, yeah. Thanks for reading that haha.
