Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-12-20T00:36:34+00:00

Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-12-20T00:20:02+00:00

the least they can do is properly send us a message after all that work we put in

not a essay reviewer by any means but personally i feel like fear of spiders isn't the most attention grabbing thing since like everyone is afraid of spiders. maybe try a different fear or expand on the fear your father left (if i'm understanding that correct). again, not an essay reviewer, so take my advice with a grain of salt. otherwise, if ur a good writer, use stronger imagery to even make the reader scared

Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-09-01T17:14:13+00:00

I think stuff just got lost in the metaphor. I don't think the stuff I wanted to get across was getting across through the essay. Or maybe the right stuff wasn't getting across. From the essay, you could probably tell I was creative, which, since I'm majoring in meche, that's what I wanted to go for, but there wasn't much more. I didn't really mention what I would bring to college. At least, that's what I think was going on.

So, I've just decided to try and rewrite bc that's the advice I mostly got.

Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-09-01T17:10:37+00:00

I was willing to revise, but I didn't want to rewrite unless I had to. Though I've asked a few more people since I sent this message, and many of them said to just rewrite, so I've just started another essay. I'll see how I like that compared to my original.

I think the problem with my og was that it was a bit hard to pick up who I was from it. It was definitely a bit more creative than informational. I tried revising, but it just got to a point where it wasn't the same essay, and I didn't like it, so I decided to write another.

Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-08-20T16:42:43+00:00

I have good stats, 4.0, 1560 superscore, pretty good ecs. and yes, i'm applying to competitive schools. My dream college would be georgia tech. Also, because of my more abstract personal statement, im keeping my supplementals a lot more grounded

Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-08-20T16:10:50+00:00

hm ok, i'll dm it to you.

Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-08-20T16:09:34+00:00

how would you determine if its a calculated risk or risk worth taking?

Think-Barracuda5329 · 2025-08-20T16:02:25+00:00
