<p>Since the application deadline has been pushed back to January 3rd, I figured I should probably go back and revamp my application essay. I would like some advice on how to improve my essay.</p>
<p>I'm writing on the A Prompt: Tell us about an experience which, at the time, really felt like "the end of the world" -- but had it not happened, you would not be who you are today. Describe the process through which you discovered value in the negative.</p>
<p>Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! =]</p>
