<p>I posted my common app essay on here a while ago, and was told that it was far too much about the person I’m writing about and not enough about me. </p>
<p>I have since revised (read rewrote) it. Would anyone care to read it?</p>
<p>I had that same problem =P…haha but the advice I got was as followed.</p>
<p>I probably provided 1-2 sentences on how this individual made an impact in my life. What my editor said was that it was sufficient, because anything else I said would probably be BSed or really extreme. If the person you wrote about was an example that you wish to follow, then you don’t have to include that much about yourself I guess if it is obvious.</p>
