A Question

I am a bit puzzled. My classmate and I took a graduate exam this year. We both had similar scores on it, and we both face choosing a school, so we might, in fact, choose the same school. Therefore, to a certain extent, a competition now exists between us, thus, when I do research about universities, should I share that information with her? It is truly an awkward situation.*

Hi, Luna. Good job! The changes that I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. Sincerest apologies if I misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. J.

*Assuming that your classmate is also your close friend, yes, you should share it with her. Doing so, in and of itself, will not lessen your chances for acceptance since other factors besides your exam scores (personality, the quality of your application essays, results of your personal interviews, finances, etc.) will come into play. Besides, even if you do share it, your classmate may not give it much weight or use it. Regardless, I believe that it will be better for your own integrity, and for that relationship, in the end, if you are open and honest.

Some comments

- "tangled question" is grammatically correct, but it sounds really weird.

- Remember to separate independent clauses separated by the conjunctions "and", "or" and "so" with a comma. Here's a couple examples:

I read a book, and I also wrote a journal entry.

I am going to the store, so I can buy a new book.

We can do this, or we can do that.

Good job on the entry. Keep up the good work!
