Message to Dean J (didn't know where else to post this.)

<p>I was interested in applying to UVA, but snoozed on the opportunity. I wished now that I did, as 2 of my friends applied. Recently rejected from Brown University, I'd like to know if you'd like to read my essay. I was certain that I'd spent a lot of time on it, poured my heart into it, but now feel as though that wasn't good enough. I know it's too late for your feedback, but I would still appreciate it. I'm just curious as to how admissions officers think and evaluate the essays.</p>
