<p>Hmmm, I am applying to Dartmouth and Brown in January, just wrote a rough draft for my common app essay this weekend, and I was wondering if it revealed enough about me, if it was to “rambling”, or if the topic worked out well. I was going to do this on my intellectual epiphany, but that is pretty much Brown’s supplemental essay. Since Dartmouth doesn’t have a supp. essay I know this one needs to be pretty nice, so if anyone would like to give me any pointers or advice that would be fantastic. I’m new to this whole college essay scene, and my counselor would probably be the last person on earth to get help with…so obviously…I turn to CC!</p>
