Critique my essay?

<p>I've just written my 250-500 word essay for the Common App, but I want to make sure it's acceptable for what colleges are looking for in terms of an essay. It gives insight into my life and some of the philosophy I live by, but the topic is somewhat narrow and possibly a bit cliche.</p>

<p>Would anyone be willing to read through my essay, and at least make sure my concept and topic are decent?</p>

<p>I'd prefer someone who has submitted their apps, is attending college, or out of college, but trustworthy members of the site will work too! Post if you'd like me to PM it to you.</p>

<p>I could critique it.</p>
