The Personal Essay (Part 7). Questions to Ask to Get Valuable Feedback on Your Essay. The Steps to Create Your 5th, 6th, and Final Draft. Your Personal Essay Would Then Be Completed!

The College Metropolis Podcast: College Admissions Talk for High School Students and Parents

#103 – On this episode, we conclude our 7-part series on the personal essay. Today, Jankel and I begin by introducing the importance of seeking feedback on your 4th draft. We talk about the people in your life who would be great participants in this feedback-seeking exercise. We go over 7 questions to ask those individuals and present ways to gather even more information from them. The resulting 5th draft will undergo an additional adjustment, and the results will be the 6th draft. The only step left to take after that is to have the essay be read by another person, another set of eyes, to ensure that it is mechanically perfect. The resulting 7th draft would be the final essay. Time to celebrate! Please go to our show notes on https://collegemetropolis.com to print a copy of the questions we present on this episode. Please help us grow by giving our show a 5-star rating and leaving us a positive review. We sincerely thank you!
