<p>I just tried out an essay using the local/national importance topic from the common app, would anyone like to give me feedback?</p>
<p>Sure … I’ll be glad to take a look.</p>
<p>I’d certainly give it a look.</p>
<p>Yow! Just got torn apart for this one 
(thanks for the input though 1MX).</p>
<p>Now i definitely need a second opinion</p>
<p>I’ll give it a read.</p>
<p>I just believe that you could very well have a reader who thinks it is over the top and doesn’t like it. You may get a reader who really likes it, but I simply don’t see the risk-reward working in your favor on it.</p>
<p>Ohioguy, sorry, but not only are we both 08-09’ers but we’re also both applying for Emory Scholars, I hope you understand.</p>
<p>I’m still looking for more feedback if anyone would like to read.</p>
<p>completely understood … no problem</p>
<p>I’ll read it, second opinions are always a good idea</p>
<p>I would be open to 3rd 4th and 5th opinions too :-)</p>
<p>bump, still looking for more reads</p>
<p>Natty BUMPpo</p>
<p>bump 10char</p>
<p>I’ll read it.</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>i really need some help with this as its getting down to the wire if i need to start a new essay/revamp this one</p>
<p>I shall bump no more forever</p>
<p>(still desperately in search of opinions)</p>
<p>I’ll read it (pm me)</p>
<p>I’m an 08er but I doubt we are applying to the same schools.
(Marlboro, Reed, Evergreen?)</p>
<p>Anyway, want to switch essays? I just did my “Issue of Importance” also. pm me if you want, if not I totally understand.</p>
<p>suree I can edit it</p>
