<p>So having submitted everything, and looking back now: Did anybody read their application essays from last year, and be totally shocked by how much your writing skills have grown? The amount of horrible grammar mistakes I left in my essay after so many time proofreading it were embarrassing. It leaves me feeling half proud that my writing skills have improved, and half annoyed at just how bad my essay was.</p>
<p>*times. And yes, I have felt the same way. Of course, you should have grown from last year or else you’re probably not on a good track or you’re so good that you don’t have any more room to grow.</p>
