A brief rant:
At some point, I will stop editing these stupid things. Maybe. I'm so obsessive about them it's starting to be a little ridiculous. All I could think of in class today was getting home and fucking with these stupid essays. As it stands, I have approximately a 60% chance of acceptance based on my current GPA, extra activities and ACT score. You really don't want to know what I went through to calculate that. Hours of research, to the point of calling the damn university and drilling them for stats. At least I used what I learned in statistics. :P
I just had to minimize this window to edit one of the essays. GAH.
I'll just let you speculate on just how pissed off I'll be if I get rejected after obsessing over these essays and bothering to calculate my chances of admission. I'm hoping these essays will seal the deal. I made a lot of risky choices in how I wrote these...but they're very me. That's really what they need to see. Who I am, not what I think will get me in.
My essays read nothing like any of the sample and actual admissions essays I've read online. NOWHERE even similar. That's either really good, or REALLY BAD.
My favorite parts of each essay? The very last line in both of them. One exemplifies my spiritual strength. The other one my belligerent curiosity. Actually, those are the ONLY parts I like. Well, I like some of the words I chose. Vanguard, acquiesce, visage, actuates, loathe...who else could conjure those words off the top of their head? And write them in the proper context without consulting a thesaurus? Just me. :P
You know, the only thing I'm sure I'll never fuck up is words.
