<p>I honestly don’t see how this is specific- in fact, the author denied himself the opportunity to inject any background about himself in the last couple of paragraphs by telling UoC not to dwell on the past. Hmm, so honestly, UoC doesn’t know anything about said applicant except
1)he desperately wants to go to UoC (which is already pretty evident given he was applying EA
2)He wants to be a lawyer (mentioned it briefly…)
This essay was incredibly well written, but I think it was lacking in specifics about the University still (apart from that one sentence about scholars- even then, I honestly think that could have referred to a number of different colleges, not just UoC). He had plenty of opportunity to gush about the specific appeal UoC held for him in terms of academics, atmosphere, etc. in addition to all the poetic writing.
Nice essay, very original, but by no means perfect.</p>
