Essay
I feel really strongly about this essay. My college counselor, who worked in admissions at Georgetown and Brown, said it made her cry the first time she read it. I sound obnoxious I know, but I’m just trying to provide details to give a good sense of it. She also helped me edit it. Answered the common app question about personal growth.

You sound like a good candidate. Interviews are with students and generally pretty short. Just be yourself.
