[quote=Anonymous]I know this depends on so many factors but I need to vent! My DD has one last application that's due by Wednesday. It's one of the only match schools she has found that she would actually like but she is unwilling to put any effort into their "optional" essay. This school cares A LOT about their optional prompts and basically said at the virtual info session that writing one is not really a choice but.... my DD dashed it off so quickly and it is terrible. Her main common app essay is fine and her stats are good for this school (and she will interview) so maybe sending in an essay that shows zero effort is worse than sending none at all. ??? I just don't see being able to get her to improve it by Wednesday. (And yes, i know she should take responsibility, have accountability, take ownership of the process, blah, blah, blah...) [/quote]
