I’ve been swamped with schoolwork and haven’t started on any supplements yet. I’m planning on completing all during this Christmas break so I’ll only have 2 weeks. I’m getting a little anxious. And I still need to modify my 500 word essay to fit the commonapp
Depends on how many schools you are applying to and how many supplements they have. Get that Common App essay done & polished ASAP… then see what you can do with supplements. You definitely risk some sloppy applications with only two weeks left, so I would start hustling now.
Also, 500 words is solid. You don’t need to expand it to a 650. Keep it at 500 if it conveys what you need it to. Don’t stretch it by adding unnecessary stuff.
@proudterrier I sent you a PM with my essay a while back, you haven’t replied yet. Can you please check it out?
Just as a note for anyone who may be reading, if you send your essay to someone unsolicited, they are perfectly within their rights to ignore it. I don’t have time to extensively edit essays anymore and yet still get PMs from people I’ve never talked to asking me to read theirs. (Not saying that’s what post #2 meant, but as an FYI for people who want their essays read.)
