My Common App Essay

<p>I submitted all my college apps on New Year's :D </p>

<p>I'd still like some input on my 'big essay' though. I'm thinking of using it to apply for scholarships. Anyone willing to read over it? I'll PM you my piece.</p>

<p>I have some specific questions I'd like for you to consider:</p>

<p>1) First impressions?
2) Would you want to meet me, are you interested in me because of how I portrayed myself?
3) Does it seem really dragged on at any point? What doesn't work?
4) Would you want to advocate me as a candidate if you were to read this essay after reading hundreds of others? (Tired, sleepy, bored of seeing the same things over and over again) Does my essay make me stand out?</p>
