<p>Would anyone care to read my essay? I am applying regular decision as I was deferred from UChicago and I am still in love (most likely unrequited), but I like Swarthmore very much because it has a similar atmosphere of intellectual inquiry.</p>

<p>An excerpt is provided below so you may decide for yourself if you want to read my essay. </p>

<p>"Colleges rarely emphasize that there is a resident science fiction/fantasy club. Instead they send fascinating compilations of its late 18th/19th century architecture and evocative portraits of spiraling cherry blossoms in the mail. I apologize, but tree lined boulevards and students gamboling on a well-trimmed lawn are laughably incomplete portraits of a school. I want to know what students do when they aren’t analyzing the Hebrew Bible, cursing Organic Chemistry or learning how to write in the Swarthmore sense of the verb. So it gladdened my heart to learn about your Psi Phi club."</p>

<p>Please, I would like only current/admitted Swarthmore students or parents of current Swarthmore students to read my full essay.</p>

<p>I don’t give essay critiques unless prior acquaintances, but I do like the voice of your quoted paragraph.</p>

<p>Thank you. I understand. It is difficult to give critiques without knowing how the person generally writes and what they are like as person.</p>
