[quote=Anonymous]I've noticed several posters very concerned about getting that extra point on a standardized test. The essay can make, break, or give you that edge over that extra test point. Every college fair we attended, it was reiterated how extremely important the essays were. DC took full advantage with numerous rewrites and read other essays to get a 'feel' for college app style. DC changed the essay to reflect personal experience with humor. It worked well for DC. The opening sentence captured the attention and went from there. I am NOT discounting grades and/or scores but those essays give kids a chance to stand out and make their case. https://www.ivycoach.com/in-the-press/the-importance-of-the-essay-in-gaining-admission-to-a-highly-selective-college/[/quote]
