I'd say to go ahead with your gut feeling as well for the essays and not take the reviewers' comments so seriously as to change your complete essay! You are on track buddy.

But you're right, one must not lose his/her unique voice that comes thru the essays.. I'm going to weigh each advice individually b4 deciding to incorporate it. @Ashwa: Ya, this is what I'm trying to do too:: leaving out the tech details, but then it doesn't leave too much!! I'll have to tread the middle path may be:: try to put tech details in some laymen language. And regardin the challengin time story,actually it is about 8 yrs old!! :-o @Sonibubu:

LOL...I can totally understand what you are going through...had the same problem while writing my essays. I chose to provide the superficial details and avoid the ones that are too technical. BTW, how distant in the past is the story about the challenging time in your life? Anything in the last 5 years should be okay, I guess. Trust me, life becomes much easier once you revise the drafts after the initial reviews. You shouldn't have any problems meeting the deadlines. All the best! “Can’t tell them that how the debugger was misbehaving…” LOL…I can totally understand what you are going through…had the same problem while writing my essays.

Only incorporate their suggested changes if you think those changes make your essays more compelling and a better representation of who you are. BTW, 4 reviewers may be stretching it, you will always get mixed feedback. While it’s nice to have reviewer feedback for the essays, take them with a grain of salt.
