<p>Is anyone else re-reading their essays and thinking, "CRAP! I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS.......!"?</p>
<p>I need to put my laptop down and not look at these essays anymore. It's done.</p>
<p>Haven't looked at them since I pressed the submit button.</p>
<p>yeah, once i sent mine out i vowed not to look at any of them again.</p>
<p>Beechbum,</p>
<p>As long as you felt good after you proof'd them, try not to worry about it. </p>
<p>That said, I agonized over mine for over a month cause I didn't catch a misspelled word in my first paragraph. It was all for naught, because I got accepted into a top 20 school regardless. The agony I put myself through was a complete waste of energy.</p>
<p>I've been working on my essays since frikkin October, I submitted them in last week, I'm pretty confident there aren't any grammatical errors, but sometimes there are those small things that just slip in... hopefully adcom won't weigh our decisions based on a small error</p>
<p>i am still trying to finish mine. i am almost done but i am going to have them edited by an editor at the college my cousin works at and have the dean of admissions tell me what he thinks :).</p>
<p>i did the same as the "Motha****ingTransfer" in post #3. This was last year for me. </p>
<p>I wrote them for months, and I was absolutely certain they were perfect. After that, I didnt even look at them or think about them, there was nothing I could have done to change them in any way for the better. </p>
<p>It worked out, I got into every school I applied to.</p>
<p>i read each of my essays again last week. they were pretty good and i am completely satisified. after reading them, i decided if admissions doesn't appreciate my words, the school may not be a match and i am better off.</p>
<p>i write a new essay everytime and then i supplement with the old one. if the old one is better i stick with it. however there is a 50-50 chance that the new one would be better. by the 7th college i should be a pro :D j/k
to answer your question - yeah, i read my essays after i sent them and i wanted to re-send. justifiably so though. i had only one night to write them.</p>
