NEED readers for Penn community essay. I think the ending is cheesy.

<p>please read and comment on my cheesy ending!</p>

<p>PM it to me. I already applied ED.</p>

<p>I’m applying RD but I’d be glad to help :)</p>

<p>My ending was super cheesy and I still got in Wharton. Cheesy is good (sometimes). :P</p>

<p>That’s good to know! I’m writing my common app essay right now and getting v worried that it’s not original enough :(</p>

<p>my common app essay is very long…750 words? more?</p>

<p>I got in and my common app essay was RIDICULOUSLY long… ha. It was 1175 words. :)</p>

<p>I think it’s always best to try to keep your essay concise because the smaller space you can pack a message into, the more powerful that message will be. However, if you truly use all the space given and eliminate wordiness/try to be purposeful, I don’t think it’s a huge deal to go over any specific word limit.</p>

<p>I’ve hear 750 words is actually pretty good by the way. A little shorter might be better but if your writing is purposeful, you should be fine! :)</p>

<p>too bad my essay gets good/meaningful at words 500-750 haha</p>

<p>what are you talking about in the community essay? i’m debating whether to talk about how i would join certain clubs or why i want to do engineering. also, do you think it would be bad to talk about starting a club??</p>

<p>I’ll take a look at if you’d like… I got accepted ED.</p>

<p>Mine was like 600 words long and I got accepted into Penn.</p>

<p>mine is about a page.</p>
