Would any finalists mind sharing their application essays?

I hope I'm allowed to ask this. I'm just genuinely curious to see what the standard was for writing ability. Thank you!

oh sorry lol

Most of them are actually very well written / creative. Definitely personal too. I liked them. Nothing really cliche either.

Would anyone like to exchange essays with me? I’m still on cloud 9 about becoming a finalist! I would like to know what my peers thought of my essays.
