What I mean by 'expert' is that if there are people who can strategise and scrutinize my drafts. GMAT and long hours do not really leave much time for value edition.
I have my thought process ready and I can think like writing them and sharing with seniors for review (All I know is ppl get reviewed by seniors or professionals).
What's ur take.

You could write your essays and share them- and I'm sure someone will offer you some kind of advice and/or criticism. I doubt though that any kind of help you get on your essay drafts on this (or any) forum will really be any value-addition.

Only someone who knows you well (a partner, a friend, a relative) will be able to judge whether the "true" you and your "true" goals and aspirations are portrayed in your essays.

I sugget you either get in touch with a "consultant", or call someone close to you.

The only thing that is taking me sleep away is the post GMAT thing and rush to meet the first deadline for Columbia. 😞 and to top it, a GMAT on 26th.
