<p>This is my first draft, but I want you to be as blunt as you would with a final draft.</p>
<p>I need suggestions. I believe my idea is UChicago caliber, but any suggestions as to writing style and technique would be welcome. </p>
<p>I've made my own prompt. </p>
<p>Anyone willing to look at it, reply telling me to PM it to you. </p>
<p>Thanks a bunch folks!!</p>
<p>Hey hugzUS, sure, send it here. I’m always interested in reading uchicago pieces. I never know what to expect!</p>
<p>^ This guy made a new account just for you, hugzuC. I suggest you exercise caution.</p>
<p>ill read it </p>
<p>CalvinCoolidge is right, dont send essays to ppl who you suspect will rip them off lmao </p>
<p>Won’t ask for the essay (I’m also applying to UChicago, if you want to be cautious), but out of interest - what was your prompt you made?</p>
<p>My prompt: </p>
<p>Color vision is possible because of cone photoreceptors in the eye; different types of cone cells respond to different wavelengths of light, resulting in the perception of different colors. You are a cone photoreceptor. Describe your perception of color.</p>
<p>Current student here. I’ll read your essay, just PM me. :)</p>
<p>I’ll help!</p>
<p>if you still want an opinion I can take a look</p>
<p>You and you and your photoreceptors! Seriously, I just spent ten minutes reading about those things on Wikipedia, so I’d be willing to take a look at your essay.</p>
<p>Full disclaimer: I’m also applying to UChicago, but I’m not going to steal your essay. I might ask you to take a look at my essay once I finish it, though, especially since I’m also planning to use my own prompt. If you’re uncomfortable with either of these things, don’t feel compelled to send it.</p>
<p>But more importantly, don’t send it to @IDHeathcliff. For once, Coolidge gave us some good advice. ;)</p>
<p>I can pitch in too, happy to provide one person’s humble perspective.</p>
<p>I’m also planning to apply to Uchicago, but I made an account to try to help. </p>
<p>There’s also no point of stealing your essay because if I were to use it (not that I would) we’d both be rejected for plagiarism. </p>
<p>Even so I understand if you don’t want to send it to me. Do whatever make you feel comfortable.</p>
<p>That being said, I like your prompt, its unique and specific and I’m interested to know how you explained yourself through it. </p>
<p>Thanks to the feedback I have received thus far, I feel like I am nearing the end of my editing process. Obviously there are always things to be improved, but I’m close. </p>
<p>Thanks for the offers, but I think I am done sharing it. </p>
