Me too, I want to meet Olive.

Great essay Lexibutti, I can really connect to it.

Undergraduate / Common App Essay: "Ramen Addiction" [8]

Hehe, this is funny. I am also a ramen addict myself. Shin ramen, Chappagetti...list goes on. you wrote a very creative essay here.

I also wrote about Korea in one of my essays. To minimize the wordiness, just say South Korea first, and just keep saying Korea. The admission officers would know what part of Korea you are talking about.

Unique essay.

Undergraduate / My jail - common app essay (crit for crit) [24]

Agree with other people saying the conclusion is a bit rushed. I figure you had to because you had to do some serious cutting down on the essay. I liked how you connected that experience to college. Just elaborate it a bit more.
