Can anyone look over my AMAZING why JHU essay?
Ahah actually I think it really sucks and it was the last essay I had to do of 10 so naturally I felt pretty drained from writing essays and don't feel like it really conveys a true sense of effort and meaning. So could you look over it for me and give me ANY suggestions, I'll love you forever

Sure, I'll give it a look. Hehe I definitely know that feeling of just not being able to write yet ANOTHER heartfelt essay. But I'm sure it's not that bad

Thanks so much sim1! I'll pm it to you. Honestly my essays were not this bad, believe me. I wrote this in 30 minutes in 1 go with the idea to just "get it over with". I let some English teachers and other adults read my Why Cornell essay and they really liked it, but this was written completely differently because Cornell asked about your academic interests and how Cornell can serve that so I had more specific questions to go on, while JHU just asked "Please explain in detail why you wish to transfer to Johns Hopkins University", so just a heads up, haha. Okay pm time, if anyone else wants to read it, just ask, I really appreciate any help!

oh my gosh, you have a LOT of brain power, I think I'd just accept failure and move on .. maybe. heh. anyway so I emailed everyone who gave me their email, if anyone wants to look over the JHU essay (and a Cornell one), just PM or post something here, all of these suggestions have been reaaaalllly helpful so far. I wish you guys could edit all of my essays! haha
