Does anyone else kind of not like their common app essay after turning it in?

<p>I think I've kind of just been thinking about this too much lol. I worked on my essay for much of the summer and beginning of the school year, and now I went back to read it (everything is obviously submitted already), and I feel like I could've done better. Maybe I'm just being paranoid...idk haha. </p>

<p>I almost feel like an essay I wrote for Brown the night before was better, but I bet I'll go back and read it and feel the same way. </p>

<p>I hope this is a normal reaction lol.</p>

<p>I’m sure it is. Ds just applied for a scholarship that required EIGHT essays. They weren’t all homeruns. :slight_smile: Thankfully, he spent a lot of time on some early essays for another scholarship that he was able to recycle. Some really held up, but he still tweaked here and there. I’m the kind who is never done with a piece of writing; I’ll edit and edit and edit. But at some point you have to cut the cord and let what’s done be done! Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>And Yeah especially when there are so many to write…it’s hard to judge your own stuff =/</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s perfectly normal. I had the same feeling, but what’s done is done.</p>

<p>you’re probably just worrying too much.
the username says it all.</p>
