<p>yeah ive applied to several schools already and i had to give them my essays... turns out that my essays are inconsistent with the "personal feel" to them and this may hurt me tremendously. should i choose essay topics that lean towards a personal story or ones that i seem to do better in (nonpersonal)</p>
<p>yeah college essays are where you "sell yourself" to the college in a way of speaking. its the chance for the adcoms to see what you are in addition to your scores and transcripts.</p>
<p>if you read the essay prompts, they almost ALWAYS lead you in the right "personal feel" direction.</p>
<p>yeah man, the essays are a chance for the college to get to know who you are, make them as personal as possible</p>
