I'm applying like most of you guys & girls to the 2002 entering class. My problem is about those "tell me about yourself" essays that are optional. So far I've sent off a few that dealt with my past in HS. I was a trouble maker back then, involved in gangs and all types of crap. No drugs, no alcohol, and no criminal record thanks to community service and lenient people. Since entering college, i'm spotless, and now regularly work with the type of kids i used to be. I've been writing this in to schools, but i'm now worried. Many schools that are interviewing haven't gotten back to me, even tho my stats are above average for their school. Does anyone think turning this essay in could have something to do with it? Please let me know- i was sure to make it turn out positive & tie it into medicine, but it still contained the stuff about "Bad Trek_OCLV" !!! Help
