Read my uncommonly common essay?

College Essays
1

<p>My essay topic is overused a bit but I did it with a bit of a twist. I was wondering whether anyone would want to look over it and give me tips for improvement and such. I would prefer that those who read it be already in college or beyond but I'd be grateful for anyone's opinion. Thanks! </p>

<p>This is for the common app by the way. Is 671 words a little long?</p>

<p>I'm an '08 person so you probs dont want me reading it (I wouldn't steal it, but personal preference...), but I just wanted to say...you probably want to keep it 600 TOPS...500 would be better</p>

<p>not at all. It'll fit on a page, which is perfect. That's what they truly look for, they don't count how many words you wrote. I'll take a look, I love to see how ppl take common essays and put a spin on them. Always the most delightful reads.</p>

<p>Oh! I love essays with spins on them! I just finished mine (750 words, by the way, so yours certainly isn't the longest ever! lol), so now that that's out of the way, I'd love to see what someone else managed to do with the Common App essay! Feel free to send it to me and I'll give you my opinion/any corrections I may have! :)</p>
