<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I've just finished the third draft of my Common App essay and I would like some people to tell me what they think. Preferably not current applicants. I'm applying to a few Ivies, and I'm looking for merit aid at other schools. </p>
<p>I wrote about the life story prompt. </p>
<p>I'm fine with the grammar editing but I am mainly looking for some help with making sure my essay has the right tone and message. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I would be happy to read your essay in return if you would like! Both my parents are journalists so I’m sort of a grammar nut. I’d be happy to help with that as well as ideas (this is my third year applying for some sort of school program).</p>
<p>I’m happy to read if you’d like. Am a parent of a college freshman.</p>
<p>Thank you @David1126! I sent you a PM.</p>
<p>You can PM me; I’ll read it. I have a supplement too if you’re looking to critique yourself.</p>
<p>I can read it. If you could read and critique mine as well, it would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>yes, i would like to read it for you.</p>
<p>I’d love to read I’m in grade 11 this year :)</p>
<p>I’m applying this year to Cornell, if you don’t mind I can read yours. And if you’re fine I can send you my common app essay. Feel free to pm me :)</p>
