..that your essays were good enough to be submitted? I just heard from one of my reviewers and he said he thought my essays are in good shape now. Obviously, after more than a month of working on them, I'm skeptical, even though I very much want to believe him :)

I'll put it this way. If your biggest concern is whether to use "cross-town" or "cross town," or the forgotten "crosstown," I think you're in an enviable position.

I always cringe whenever I see the past essays I wrote.

It hurts because they are so bad compared to my newest set of essays.

I decide to submit when I am afraid I will either miss a deadline or will screw up my essays if I change anything. I submitted GSB the night before and probably will submit Kellogg tomorrow morning.

It starts next week on Wednesday. The scheduling is terrible, but it gives me a few days without baseball on TV to hammer out my essays. A blessing in disguise I guess.
