<p>i have to agree that they dont tell me much about you, and no offense but they are sort of boring. the research essay doesnt seem to click with me because it really seems like you are showing off and i dont think colleges really like that- rather write about the topic you are researching on and make them interested in the research, no nobel prize or other things
secondly the grandfather essay is good in the sense that i like the idea but you should write about one incident relating to your grandfather and its impact on you and/or him to make it more engaging and personal…</p>
