Can candidates post their essays on the forum to get feedback? I feel that’s a very important part of the application and I would very much like some help... thanks
 
You can. And some people will respond. But in the end, no one on this forum is in good position to provide meaningful critique. We don’t know the candidate, simple as that. So the feedback tends to fall into two camps: language is too flowery or the statement is overly broad.

Turn instead to people who know the candidate well, because they’re in position to know how genuine and authentic and truthful the statement is. They should call BS is necessary. That’s the best kind of feedback.
 
Take it to your English teacher, your guidance counselor or your ALO or all three.

I have said this almost a million times before this is an anonymous forum, you do not who is critiquing your essay, it could be another candidate, in essence, the blind leading the blind.
 
You also open yourself up to someone plagiarizing your essay.
