[quote=Anonymous]Duke will no longer score essays, citing AI and involvement of paid essay consultants. (Their numerical combo score also drops tests just because they are still TO, though the consider if submitted, so that’s not really new.) They will, of course, still read essays to get a sense of person. https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/02/duke-university-undergraduate-admissions-changes-numerical-rating-standardized-testing-essays-covid-test-optional-ai-generated-college-consultants Personally, I think that’s as it should be. DC can write fine but, like many kids, is not great a navel-gazing, and did not use AI or consultants. And it seems an odd make-or-break point for applicants for the very reasons Duke gave. What if a student submitted a completely generic essay that does not make the case that the applicant knows anything about the school? That seems a fair takeaway from the essays for colleges to consider….[/quote]
