<p>remember to not make your essay sound like a GIMME PITY essay.</p>
<p>Talk about how this made you a stronger person and taught you important lessons in life (and even if this isn't exactly true somehow, what the colleges won't know won't hurt'em heh heh).</p>
<p>you could get into amherst, williams, weslayan probably.</p>
<p>as long as the adcoms aren't idiots</p>
