<p>Should there be citations?</p>
<p>Also how formal/informal should it be? It's hard to insert voice into an essay like this, it seems.</p>
<p>…This was almost my exact same question in one of my threads. lol</p>
<p>My general impression is that it doesn’t need to be extremely formal, so I don’t think that citations are needed.</p>
<p>thanks so much for the response!</p>
<p>You’re welcome ;)</p>
<p>Have you started yet?</p>
<p>Yep. I wrote it that night in a fit of sleeplessness and submitted it the next morning because my school needed 10 days to submit transcripts/etc after the common app was submitted so it was due then.</p>
