<p>Just curious.... I'm wondering if its standard to talk about your flaws in essays.</p>

<p>no .</p>

<p>A college essay should be bottom-line positive about the writer, who presumably is, after all, trying to give reasons to be admitted to college.</p>

<p>However, an honest discussion of a flaw can enhance the credibility of the essay and the impression it makes. Everyone has flaws; to face them, to discuss them honestly, to speak of efforts to address, correct, or work around them, shows insight and maturity.</p>

<p>Minor flaws but not big ones for example you can say you are shy, somewhat nerdy, bookish, etc..</p>

<p>I would say that talking about flaws would strengthen your essay if you connect them to your personal growth.</p>

<p>i could read it if you want. <a href="mailto:tyac.sg@gmail.com">tyac.sg@gmail.com</a></p>

<p>it's not the content, its the writing that will make your flaws look good.</p>

<p>^ I agree with the above. In my essay I talked about my flaws in a fairly light and humorous tone... because that's just who I am. If you'd like me to read yours, I will.</p>
