Best thing schools to do frankly is have kids submit a graded paper through the counselors report, recommendations, test, scores, résumé that goes through the college counselor along with GPA.
None of this essay bullshit where everyone spends months and months and months drafting the perfect thing with so much “editorial” help.
** And for the person earlier who mentioned that supplements are more important, I have read that as well from many AOs. And it’s why you see all of these new bespoke shops being set up to work on the supplements for the months of September and October. It’s truly a racket.
I don’t disagree but Where would my MCPS student find a real graded paper? Even in AP Lang and Lit, there doesn’t seem to be much written work beyond a couple paragraphs prepping for the AP exam.
