<p>Self-Explanatory.</p>
<p>I have one of my personal statements complete for my UC essay, and my AP english teacher, parents, UC proctor all say its fantastic, and I like it as well. So much so that I am considering using it as my Common App personal statement.</p>
<p>Problem is, for the common app personal essay (which has to be between roughly 250-500 words) its way too long, clocking in at 640 words at the moment.</p>
<p>If anyone would at all be interested in reading my personal statement and giving me feedback on it, and then perhaps more importantly, ways I possibly can shrink it down to the lower 500's range of words, then please let me know.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
