I am currently applying to colleges and like other students, am experiencing lots of anxiety. I just submitted two Common Applications and now I am anxious. I have been reading a lot about college applications, sending SAT Scores, sending in applications and college essays.
My college essay is about my identity of being half hispanic and half white and how I appreciate my hispanic culture. However, I have been reading these articles that are getting to my head. I have had many teachers and peers edit my essay in school but I have seen that college admissions can apparently see when it isn’t your work by checking it to your SAT scores and other things? I am not sure if they use plagiarism checkers for everyone’s essay they receive but I am afraid now. I am afraid they are not going to think my work is my work and then they will think I plagiarized and I will not get into any schools. Maybe I am overthinking but I am getting very nervous about it now.
If someone could possibly help me with this anxiety and help me through this process that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much
