Should I post it?

Seeking advice-academic

I have a long essay outlining my journey to applying to clinical psychology phd programs in North America (the rejections and the eventual realization that it is not for me). Given that I applied 4 times, I share a lot of insights, resources, and knowledge that I think would be valuable for candidates. However, I am afraid I will be criticized for it because I am speaking as a candidate and not someone who actually got in. As a side note, I got accepted into a clinical psychology program in Florida but it was so expensive so I rejected it (yes, there are schools who charge you 100k a year to do a phd).
