I had written an essay for “the unusual way in which you have fun” prompt, and while checking on the internet for samples on this prompt to inspire me to write something better, I faced an essay talking about the same issue as my essay but from a different perspective. There were some (1 or 2) expressions common in both. My essay however contains details very relevant and personal, so would they accuse me of copying the idea of this essay and immediately reject me?
@gibby I know you generally aren’t a frequent poster on Caltech’s thread, but I think this is an issue you could provide me with some feedback on, especially that the deadlines are very near and I am worried that this may get me an immediate rejection.
