Overused topic: Death of loved one?

<p>Anyone feel like commenting on my USC transfer essay? :O)
It's somewhat long (1000 words) compared to their 700 word suggested limit.</p>

<p>No, I don't think it's an overused topic because death affects everyone differently and we have all had our own experiences with death. you should try to stick to their word limit.
I can read it for you.</p>
