<p>I was reading through my common app essay for topic 1, where it says EVALUATE a significant experience etc.
My essay is pretty much a story, and at the very end in a short paragraph is the actual, self-evaluation of it. The whole story is packed with credentials and it's pretty self-explanatory what its impact on me was.
Would this be considered having answered the essay question?</p>
<p>I’m having the same problem…</p>
<p>Right now I have about 500 words of telling a story… followed by two paragraphs of self-evauation…</p>
