[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how we tell students that the personal essay is to be authentic and about what is important to them.. but NOT this and NOT that.. and not anything that actually is important to them. That's why this whole process sucks.[/quote] Amen. My kid is writing about an activity he listed on his common app. I agree wholeheartedly with the contradiction between how orchestrated the advice seems and authenticity. The example essays I read online do not sound like high school kids to me, mostly because the topics sound so completely contrived.[/quote]
