<p>Just to reduce the stress you are all having over your college apps, I think most of us need to realize we are looking at our college essays with FAR more scrutiny than an admissions committee. Seriously.</p>
<p>I like your rhyming sn!
Well...I'm not obsessing over small, grammatical stuff. But I am immensely worried that I THINK I'm presenting myself in an honest and sincere way...but it just comes off as undesirable in some way to the admissions committee. I don't know, but ever since after bleh news came from my early school, I've been looking at these essays, the only component of my app i have some leverage over at this point, in a new way.</p>
<p>That's reassuring. I just wish I believed you. :)</p>
<p>I think freefree113 is totally right. admissions people spend a couple of minutes reading each essay. Sure, you need to make sure it makes a quick good impression, but they are not going to analyze it like we do.</p>
