College Essay???

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

Fellow senior here.
If you wrote your own essay, there shouldn’t be a problem. Did your teachers/peers truly “edit” your essay, or did they write it for you? I had people edit my essays as well, but I can also say it’s my own work with 100% confidence.
Plagiarism checkers only pick up on things taken word for word (or nearly word for word) from other published sources. Did you take anything off of the internet? Or from someone else’s essay?
Your guilty conscious is admittedly worrying, but if what you’ve written is the honest truth, then there’s nothing to worry about.
Oh and, from one applicant to another, best of luck with your applications!

No I did not. I just am worrying about every little thing like if my sats will get there and things like that. I just want to get in somewhere!!

You’re probably just worrying over nothing because it’s out of your hands now. You know you wrote your essays, so you are fine.
