I wasn’t in class today so I didn’t get a peer review. However, I did ask a senior friend to help me look over my essay. Because he got his college offers already, he has some experience in writing a good personal statement. He was able to give me very specific feedbacks and a lot of suggestions on how I can tweak my language. He told me which places I could elaborate and where I could cut down. For my next step, I will need to cut down the essay to fit the word limit.
I think that’s cool that you had someone who’s already received his college offers already to read over your paper. I also have to cut down my word count for my essay. I’ve found that it’s pretty easy to go on and on about something I feel passionate for so my word count goes up and down pretty often as well.
