14.You want your essay to be the one that is passed around the admissions office-or not.It's a little bit like the difference between being famous and infamous.We all know that a truthful,well-written essay that shows how the student has matured is sometimes shared among admissions staffers.(36)ESo how do you make your essay famous instead of infamous?
Here are some basic tips to avoid that infamous essay:
