Someone help me cut my commonapp essay!

<p>My essay is 763 words long...I need to cut it to 650 at least. Can anyone take a look at it and give some general suggestions? It's for the top schools.</p>

<p>Preferably admitted students and no new members, please.</p>

<p>Your essay can’t be longer than 500 words. It’s a strict limit on the commonapp.</p>

<p>I can look at it, although I’m just another applying senior. :P</p>
