So, I wrote what I thought was a great personal essay for georgetown admission. After reading it at least 20 times, over-analyzing it to the max, and stressing myself out about how vital this essay seems to be, I decided I need to write another one. Everyone has attempted to convince me to just tweak it, but I’m just plain unhappy with it.

I’m just not sure what to write about…I could construct another generic essay about myself but I feel like they’re going to be staring at thousands of identical essays. Would it be okay to submit my common app personal essay? I went with option 4: " Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence." I’m entirely happy with it but I’m just not sure it’s going to work for Georgetown. Any ideas would be appreciated!
