<p>Hey guys! I'm applying to USC, Michigan, Northwestern, WashU, and maybe a few others. This is the essay that I'm probably going to use for all of them, since USC has a question that is along the lines of "describe an accomplishment you achieved in an unlikely way" and Michigan has one that goes "describe a setback you have faced and how you dealt with it"...and Northwestern and WashU both take the common app!</p>
<p>I'll PM it to anyone that's interested. Preferably those that aren't class of 2008...thanks so much!</p>
<p>I currently work in my university's admission department. Although I don't have a say in the admission decision, I know how they operate and could give you an honest opinion if your essay works or not. I wouldn't mind reading it and proofing it either. Please email it to <a href="mailto:marc.d.tan@gmail.com">marc.d.tan@gmail.com</a>. I look forward to reading your essay!</p>
