I'm not sure if my essay is good enough for selective colleges!

Hi everyone,
I finished a draft of my essay and need someone to provide me feedback before I send it to the colleges. Thank you so much!

I can provide some feedback, PM me when you can.

This is a really good and insightful essay. A few tips I would have to give would be just a few grammar errors, and try not to dwell so much on what happened before you became triumphant. The essay is good and is clearly split into stages, but make sure your biggest stage is when you succeeded and not when you were failing. Also, can you please tell me the prompt? I’m not sure if this is the Common App essay or an essay for Carnegie Mellon. And lastly, you should take down your essay and PM it to people instead, because anyone can easily look on here and steal it. I hope that helped a little!

I just flagged it. I nearly had a heart attack lol. I thought I sent it to the person above but it was posted here instead. I hope it don’t get into any trouble. It was up for a day. The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

Okay so that would be Common App. You should start another thread asking for help, and make sure to state either there or in your PM that it for the Common App esaay. Hope I helped!

Ok, thank you so much. I’ve been doing that, just they put messages and threads on the same page. Thank you so much for helping.
