[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google: NYT brown table essay Tears.[/quote] Bravo to the author for getting into Harvard (five years ago) and getting an essay published in the NYT. However, I was an admissions reader and wouldn't recommend this essay as a model for current applicants. From that point of view, this essay is a missed opportunity for the writer to give more details about herself, her qualities, her aspirations. It succeeds in telling the reader that she is low-income, and that she is trying to write in an elevated way ("a tedious mixture of wood glue, brute force and pure spite"? Tedious?). [/quote]
