Undergraduate / 'Quit, you will be better without it' - running common app essay [3]

I agree with karissa. I think the metaphor is extremely cliche. Trite statements like "life is like a piece of music" generally lessen the worth of your essay. Stay away from "Life is like a ____" simply overused...be original:] however, the deadlines are quickly approaching so maybe you should worry less about your common app essay and more about your supps!
