<p>Just looking for general opinions on my Common App essay. If anyone is interested in reading it, I will PM it to you.</p>
<p>If you are applying to Washington University in St. Louis, thank you for your interest, but your services are not needed at this time. :D</p>
<p>Sweet! Me too! Except for my damn college transcript which seriously needs to get in the mail.</p>
<p>Brand, do you know finaid there is horrible for transfers?</p>
<p>I'd love to give some opinion. PM it over.</p>
<p>sure brand, I'd be happy to read it</p>
<p>sure ill read it and give you opinions</p>
<p>I'd be happy to read this one as well.</p>
<p>id be glad to help b182</p>
<p>mojojo - I won't be asking for financial aid.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone who has offered to look at it. I've PM'd you a copy.</p>
<p>yo brand_182, if i were you i wouldn't send this to anyone...for the heck of it, i might as well just copy yours and apply to the same schools even if i don't even want to get into those schools :) just to screw you up</p>
<p>of course, i am not like that, but what if some people are like that?</p>
<p>brand - if you still need reviews, I'd be happy to look as I have enjoyed following your peregrinations through the transfer world.</p>
<p>I second the opinion expressed above that neither you, nor anyone, should share your essays with folks you aren't pretty d**n sure are not applicants. We're all anonymous in cyberspace, of course, but I would only share my essay with parents/kids you know have already transferred and are not in the game. Just MHO.</p>
<p>Include your email address if you PM me.</p>
<p>yeah, i wouldnt be sharing essays online, thats kinda weird cuz everyone is anonymous. But anyone with the name mom i think i would trust lol</p>
<p>well brand, you can always trust me.
I pretty much sang for the past 6 monthes or so that the only schools I'll be applying to will be the UCs, and those are done two monthes ago.</p>
<p>Plus, I refuse to bother with out-of-state privates with horrible finaid (nyu, wustl, georgetown, etc) cuz money is a big issue for me. Plus it just takes way too much time to do another application process.</p>
<p>You are free to share it with me :)</p>
<p>PM me
i always help my friends</p>
<p>jslee - yeah, that would suck. I am kinda hoping most of the people on CC are honest, and I am familiar with many of the members that have offered to review it, so I'm not too terribly worried about it. </p>
<p>To be honest, this is the first admissions essay I've ever written, and while I like WashU (the school it is for), I won't be terribly devastated if I don't get in. However, you can rest assured that my Wesleyan essay won't be seen by many. ;) So for now I'm basically just wanting to see what people think of the way I approached the prompt (pretty standard) and my writing style. </p>
<p>And yeah, I'm not worried about jmmom. She's been there, done that. :D</p>
