<p>I've just spent... the last 5 hours on one essay that... I can't make better. </p>
<p>can anyone just read it and help me out? It's still in a rough draft state, so don't expect anything good...</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>for which school</p>
<p>yes I'll look over it if it's not for the same school as I am applying to.</p>
<p>with a ~word limit of 500, how much over is acceptable?</p>
<p>at the moment, I'm aiming for 10% over, but right now, I have 580~ and I need to add like probably 10-20 more words.</p>
<p>this is for UMich </p>
<p>with the prompt, it's 580~, without it's like 540-560</p>
<p>Cvjn, I sent you a PM back...</p>
<p>I forgot about word limitation :(</p>
<p>It seemed okay...but you seem to write just like how you speak...there were little smooth transitions between ideas and it tends to jump abrubtly from one story to another...writing style was, perhaps it was intentional to give personal feel to it, bit less than stellar...</p>
<p>I didn't like the idea of "being pushed" by people...and that's how you came about...it's just never good in my opinion...</p>
<p>i didn't give much attention but i fixed a little...but i think you stil need to work on transitions and you might have to re-think about "being pushed" by everyone because it seems like you were forced to do something you didn't really care...</p>
