<p>So, I thought the CommonApp essays and colloquial essays were for the adcoms to find out more about you as a PERSON. But apparently, they're also testing your level as a writer and expects college-level writing.</p>
<p>Is this true? Most of the essays that I have written are "great" (according to the people who read them) by high school levels, I'm presuming. I don't use "college-level" vocabulary or complex syntax, because I more or less used my "personal voice". Should I revise the essays to make it more "college-level" or should I keep them the same for the sake of preserving my personal voice?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
