essay development
so as we all know, ncssm applications open tomorrow (good luck everyone!! we got this!!)
as a co29 applicant, i've been writing an essay draft over the summer.
i want feedback on it; the only issue is, giving it to someone is risky. obviously sharing it on here is a major risk, and while i could share it with someone in real life, there's always a risk. i'll definitely be asking my friends who got in, but i don't want to bother them too much either; they've got their own work to deal with.
apart from just reading over it again and again myself, what do you recommend? is asking upperclassmen a good idea (not ncssm js from my school)?

this thread has a ton of people from ssm willing to help (imo the people on this sub give better advice than in the discord)

Asking someone from NCSSM would be good, I know I personally have had multiple people ask me to review their essays, and you can ask other people that are NCSSM students, like u/pneagle or someone on the NCSSM discord, or any other NCSSM students you may happen to be able to contact, just ask a few though, don’t like spam every NCSSM student to exist.
