<p>So I decided to write my college essay on my art, and then I happened across this essay : <a href="http://admissions.tufts.edu/?pid=156%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.tufts.edu/?pid=156</a>, which had a topic that was very similar to my idea.</p>
<p>Then I wrote it. Then I sent it in.</p>
<p>And now I'm realizing that they sound VERY very very similar. I didn't copy it on purpose or anything but now I'm terrified- I think some of her ideas got into my subconscious or something. Can anyone read my essay and tell me if they're going to reject me for plagiarism?</p>
<p>arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.</p>
<p>sorry are you from 08' cause I'm just wary of people copying me (I know how easy it is to do by accident haha)</p>
<p>I reread it and it isn't THAT bad, though maybe a little suspicious. Things that could cause problems:
I talk about my quirks (pretty standard I guess), how I am not right or left brained (this is completely true and I was planning on mentioning it anyway- I thought I was so unique. I have trouble deciding whether I am an English/History or Math/Science person), and how I'm a contradiction (this worries me... did I think of this myself?)</p>
<p>I sent it to BC and though I'm applying there I will NOT send it to Tufts. I'm going to have to think of something more original.</p>
<p>I am an 08er.However, I sent my applications in already. I can still read it if you'd like.</p>
<p>thank you so much but I just had a friend read and compare and she said it isn't anything to worry about.</p>
<p>Great to hear. Good luck to you.</p>
