<p>Parents, would any of you be willing to read and critique an essay I'm thinking of using for the Common App? It's really a bastardized English essay, and I'm trying to gauge if it works for the purpose or if I should write a new one. Also, of course, if it's a good admissions essay that would sit well with an adcom and increase my chances. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>eclipse0, I'm done with the college admissions and got accepted to pretty high ranked schools. I will read and critique your essay because i have a lot of spare time before I pack my stuff and go to my dorm in the coming fall.</p>
<p>eclipse0, you can PM me with the essay, if you like.</p>
<p>I'm thankfully ;-) not a parent, but I'm also willing to PM essay comments if you so desire. Once you've been through the process, you know what the adcoms are looking for more... whoo go being bored and procrasinating cleaning/packing/work.</p>
<p>If you don't mind that I'm not a parent, PM me.</p>
<p>Sure, you can PM me too. I am a parent but done with college admission in 2004.</p>
<p>Please PM me too with your essay so that I can give my feedback</p>
<p>Thank you all!
PMs sent.</p>
