Hi would anyone be open to reviewing my common app and penn specific essay?
You’ll have better luck posting this in the Essays forum.
PLEASE send your essay only to adults with a proven posting history. You can find that by clicking on the person’s name. You should see evidence of a spouse, kids, career-- anything to prove it’s not some 18 or 19 year old who, at best has very limited experience-- his own-- with the process. At worst, he’s looking to plagiarize your essay.
