Dude, my mother is a Science major, my anatomy teacher, and all that jazz. Doesn't mean that EVERYTHING she says is right, though. You should take the paper to your professor, cause knowing my mom, when I took my perfectly dissected fetal pig and removed brain to her, she got mad because it was better than the one she did a few years back. All I'm saying is, don't just take her words to heart, if you did great and you know it, you got nothing to worry about.
Well, if you actually want to go to UCLA, you should actually work really hard on that paper, so you can get an actual good grade on it. Maybe then the UCLA people will think you're actually smart! /endmock. Seriously, OP? Either your teacher speaks like a 2nd grader, or you really do need to work on your writing skills. So, I'm actually gonna go with YDI. The FML people are probably gonna fix this, so this comment won't make much sense soon. Whatever.
Even if the mom weren't going for the poesy of parallel construction, take out either "actually" and you change the meaning of the sentence. She did not mispeak. She tried to be candid with you, OP. Ask for some specific pointers and try to improve your writing if you want to get into a good college. I didn't always want to listen to my mom, but she was usually right, and later I won a lot of money for my writing skills. Now she calls me for writing help.
The OP is most likely paraphrasing what his mother said. We already know that the OP has writing skills. Once one hears something IRL, one tends to make it one's own. People don't memorize word for word quotes from everyday life, but remember mostly the gist of things. Or... the mother might just be using the either "either" actually for extra emphasis since the OP seems thick-headed.
