<p>im looking to apply to SUNY geneseo, binghamton, buffalo. urochester and syracuse.</p>
<p>i do well in school but when it comes to standardized tests and essays i’m falling short.
my sat scores are not as high as i would like, and with my college essay im stunned at how corny and stupid it sounds when i read it over.</p>
<p>i was wondering if someone experienced would take a look and give me some pointers on what i could do with my essay. ive really hit a block. and it would greatly be appreciated
i’d like all of my applications and such to be in my thanksgiving so i can concentrate on the december sats.</p>
<p>i have no trouble coming up with something i want to write about but when i do it just sounds dumb</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP!
thanks in advance</p>
