<p>I just wrote my common app essay, and was wondering if anyone could help me critique it. </p>
<p>Specifically I want to know if I give too much or too little set up.
and if my points are good, and if there bad why and how can I improve them. </p>
<p>I want to make this good , so if anyone could help that would be great.</p>
<p>I can pm or email which ever one your most comfortable with. </p>
<p>P.S
Even though I just made a account today I've been floating around the forums for a while. When I need advice for school relating things, this is the site I go to first. I used this site for my ACTs when trying to find the best book to use- Princeton and the red book, Barrons if you have enough time ;)</p>
<p>Private message it to me, I’ll take a look</p>
<p>I prefer someone older, and whose been on the forums for longer
Thanks for the offer, but I have to be skeptical.
So no.</p>
<p>Lewis is perfectly acceptable. He isn’t on here to steal essays, that’s why he has more than 5 posts. He offered help, you denied it.</p>
<p>Yes, there are people who join the site to steal ideas, but a member that contributes regularly is not one of them.</p>
<p>It’s probably mediocre anyways.</p>
<p>I could critique you, but I didn’t stay here long enough…</p>
<p>kk </p>
<p>I wasn’t trying to be harsh or anything
I looked through all your post lewis and no seems, and no one seems to be complaining about you. </p>
<p>I don’t like my essay, I mean I really don’t like it. The topic I picked wasn’t very good. So I’m going to do it over, and then I will send pm s.</p>
<p>Hi, I also finished my commonApp essay, I actually don’t want to ‘help’ by reading yours (lol sorry I am trying to just float away from the stress of the essays), I am just posting because I want to give you advice: if you feel uncomfortable handing your essays to some members then what you should do is just PM someone that you feel would read your essay and build some constructive criticism upon it, search the forums and I am sure you will find many members. But another thing is: you shouldn’t hesitate at sending your essay to your english teacher, mine really helped me a lot and she/he should be your first resort, mainly if you don’t like your essay.
It took me a couple of weeks before I actually started writing my essay because I kept imagining what topic I would pick and in the end I picked the one that I actually swore I wouldn’t take but it was the one I could ‘connect’ with the most and in the end I wouldn’t have it any other way.</p>
