Finishing college application essay is a big task itself. Once you complete it, it’s better to get few feedbacks. However, before you show it to somebody, you should be satisfied with it. At the same time you should be adaptive to the remarks made by others and open for changes. That will help you extract maximum benefit from it. Following points will help you to manage feedback that you receive.
1) First and foremost point to remember is, choose the right people to read and make remarks on your essay. Do not choose just great writers or editors or successful professionals in writing. But they should also be knowledgeable about college application essay writing. Wise choice will help you to seek right guidance and correct advice. Teachers, tutors might be able to help you in this. You can also consider students and writers.
2) Consider three opinions per draft. Do not exceed number of feedbacks more than three. This will leave you with confusion. If two or all three readers give you same remark, consider it seriously and work on it. After polishing the essay once again show it to new readers and get their feedback. Continue this process until you get all positive comments.
3) Listening to the feedback, be attentive and listen carefully. Do not rush and don’t be defensive too. This will help you get maximum of information from the reader. First grab all feedbacks, later you can decide if you agree with the reader’s point of view or not and to imply it in your essay or not.
4) Don’t be totally silent. Ask questions to readers. If a reader says that your essay is accurate, ask him/her why he/she thinks so. Clarify and understand what reader has to say and feel about your essay. It will help you to a great extent.
5) Apart from all readers’ opinions, trust yourself. If reader suggests some changes, that you think, do not convey what you want to put forward, you may choose to ignore them. Essay topic reflects your values and personality. Also essay elaborates about your thoughts, so believe in yourself completely and make changes that you feel are fair to do.
