College Essays

I’ve written one common app personal essay and two college supplemental essays. I apply to colleges in less than a week and I’m worried that my essays aren’t good enough or unique. What are some tips/tricks I could try to make my essay be as good as possible? Are there any websites (other than this one) that provide good editing/feedback/advice on essays for free?

Hi! There are some sites that have good editing such as Get Schooled and Fair Opportunity Project! Although, for professional feedback, it wouldn't necessarily be free. You can also ask your family, friends, teachers/professors, and counselors to even check your essay for free and it's your choice if you will take their feedback. I'm currently applying this year and I made a lot of drafts right now and I suggest righting mutiple perspectives! Good luck on your college apps!

Best regards,
