<p>"What work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature has surprised, unsettled, or challenged you, and in what way?"</p>
<p>This is the prompt I'm using for the first supplement, and though I've managed to pump out an essay, I'm not very confident in its quality. At times, I feel like I'm jumping too quickly from topic to topic, and I fear that my book choice itself ("An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green) is too contemporary, even if it did have a significant effect on my life.</p>
<p>Would anybody be willing to read it and help me remedy these problems? Thank you so much in advance. :)</p>
<p>At the moment, I don't have enough posts to PM, so I may have to wait until tomorrow to send it.</p>
<p>Please take what I’m about to say in a constructive manner. Your essays are meant to reflect you, your capabilities, your personality and thought process, etc. They are also meant to reflect what YOU think is YOUR best work. You have said it yourself: “I’m not very confident in its quality.” Then it’s not your best work - it’s a draft. I’m not sure that expecting others (i.e. strangers who may or may not be experts on admissions essays) to jump in and help you shows your best choice in decision-making/effort towards admissions essays. I’d recommend working with someone closer to home, like an English teacher at your high school, to review and edit your essays and ensure they appropriately reflect both you and your best work. Good luck.</p>
