Can someone give some feedback on my college admission essay?

I apologize if this comes across as harsh or I've misread your attempt at parody, but my advice is to put down the thesaurus, trim away the metaphors, and start over with actual details. What concrete examples of your hard work can you point to? (For that matter, uming you didn't cover it in another essay, why do you want to be a physical therapist?) What besides reputation appeals to you about the program: are there specific cles or professors you're looking forward to learning from, or is it the career placement opportunities? The admissions office isn't looking to see how far you can stretch an ogy, even if the original prompt did involve crossroads somehow: they want to get to know you and what motivates you in and out of the clroom. Just repeating that you're ambitious over and over again and then trying to flatter them with a lot of flowery language isn't going to accomplish that very effectively.
