<p>I just finished my common app essay, and the topic is on an experience i had that will make me stand out (i mean it), but i think it's a bit risky since it may come off as if i'm trying to elicit pity of some sort.</p>
<p>But anyway, despite not having edited it much yet, I think it's pretty good so far. I probably won't be able to have any of my english teachers critique it, so I'd love your comments.</p>
<p>I'll PM it to those who are interested so please only comment if you plan to RESPOND. Preferably college students/parents/teachers, but all are welcome. </p>
