<p>I'm telling a story on my common app essay and I'm 130 words over the 650 limit. Would anyone be willing to read it and critique me on what to shorten/take out and improve? It would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Sure, why not. Don’t expect any crazy super in depth criticism though. I’m not an English teacher 
Post it here and I’ll take a look</p>
<p>DO NOT post it here! Easiest way to get your essay stolen is posting it publicly on a forum. Just PM it to a reliable poster who agrees to read it. </p>
<p>I…did not think about that. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to PM on this site so I guess I can’t help. Sorry :P</p>
<p>I can help! Some other CC people helped me a ton on mine, so I’m willing to extend the favor 
PM me</p>
