Essay Revision GuidelinesEssay Revision Guidelines
I am trying to figure out how all this can work, but I look forward to reading your essays. A few disclaimers: 1. Thank you for trusting me with your personal stories and learnings about yourself, I know putting things down on paper can be difficult and I value that you trust me enough to let me ready these stories and insights into your life. 2. I am required to report anything if I am afraid for your safety, if that stops you from sharing something that is okay, but colleges do want to hear about your past and how you've grown from it (I have to report if I am concerned). 3. You do not have to let me read and give feedback on all of your essays, but I am open to giving you feedback for all of them if that is your wish. 4. I do not take your future lightly, so please value my time as much as I value your future. Be prompt, ask questions straight up, don't be afraid to share your thoughts. Beating around the bush only wastes more time. 5. You DO NOT have to listen to all of my feedback for your PIQs (Personal Insight Questions), but I do hope that you consider them. 6. LASTLY- By asking me to give feedback on your essays you are agreeing to at least ONE conversation/meeting when you start getting acceptances. You do not have to take my input, but I would love for you to at least listen. If you agree to all of these things CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW, feel free to start submitting your PIQs!!
