<p>Would someone please read my Common App Personal Influence Essay? Its 600ish words, and I also want to use this for Princeton's essay. Since the instructions say "about 500 words," I figure I'm safe at my current size?</p>
<p>While advice is greatly appreciated, more than that even I want to gauge what the reader's response to my content is, since the person I chose certainly has an unusual story. </p>
