<p>These are pretty much final drafts of the UMich prompts, but can someone read them over and tell me if:</p>
<li>they’re on topic</li>
<li>they reveal something about me</li>
<li>I don’t sound like an idiot/my writing’s not too technical</li>
</ol>
<p>This has been the most painful process ever, partly because I doubt my writing ability, more so because I’ve been avoiding inspecting myself for the past 17 years (ooh sounds like a personal statement)</p>
