<p>I’ve written all my essays for public unies and rolling admissions so far, and I’ve managed to stay entirely true to myself. </p>
<p>I read a quote once that puts it eloquently: “It is better to write for self and have no public than to write for public and have no self”…</p>
<p>I guess that when you do put your heart in it, given a fair amount of stylistic emphasis too, you do end up with an essay that will have a pleased audience.</p>
<p>I try to leave my essays slightly raw, and not entirely smoothened out to be completely politically correct. Nothing too over the top, but still me.</p>
