<p>So I feel that if someone else reads my essay and gives honest feedback as to whether it was good [enough?] that I'll feel less shaken by my rejection at stanford.
Stanford and Duke are the only Private universities that I am applying to.
This essay in particular is for Duke, although I submitted a variation of it to Stanford.</p>
<p>Please reply if you would be willing to read it, and then I will send to you through a private message.
Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>I will read it too. Sorry about your rejection from Stanford, two of my really good friends just found out that they were rejected from Stanford, too.</p>
<p>hey, Stanford's hard this year, don't let it get you, I am sure u will get into great schools! Practically all of my friends were rejected to Stanford..only two or three "lucky" people were deferred.</p>
<p>i'd be more than happy to read your essay and give feedback! i'm all set with penn so don't worry about me running away with it. i'm just helping people around cc now. so just PM it over to me :) and don't worry about stanford, there are tons of great schools out there!</p>
