Confused common app essay writer

Would anyone be so lovely as to help me review my common app essay. I’m a British student and haven’t quite grasped the concept of American college app essays. I choose the failure prompt and I just want to know if I’m going in the right direction or if I should just scrap it and start again.

Sure! I actually wrote about the failure prompt as well. My own essay has been through quite a few edits, so I think I have some experience with what they want from you. :slight_smile: You can dm it to me if you like.

@Demieymaj - I’d be happy to take a look at it.

BTW, not to disparage any offers, you should not show your work to anyone that doesn’t have a decent number of posts, and never post anything online.

Oh, how come? I was going to have this person read my essay for me on college confidential but they’re a new member and doesn’t have any posts either.

@LoveTheBard Thank you so much. I’ll PM it to you today or tomorrow.
