Hey guys, so I just recently finished a first draft on one of the common app prompts, and was looking for some feedback on it if anyone was willing.
I wrote on the first prompt, which states: Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
In this essay, I talked about the passing of my dad and uncle both from the same thing and how because of that my life had become in a way dedicated to solving the problem that took them. Part of the reason I want someone to read it is to make sure it doesn’t sound like a pity party, but instead it shows a genuine drive and passion for something very dear to me, and another reason is I want to see if the idea I had while writing it is too cheesy and if I should restructure.
Any comments would be appreciated, if you’re interested please let me know and I’ll message you it.
