[quote=Anonymous]We brainstormed ideas. And talked through what she wanted admissions to know about her and how she could develop that into a coherent piece. She has an easier time with ones that were less open-ended, such as, describe a challenge you have faced, how you overcame, and what you learned that you will bring to our community versus tell us about yourself and why you want to go here. But at her school it’s part of the English curriculum to work on these so the English teacher made lots of suggestions of where the essay needed to be edited for length or clarity. We then read the final drafts out loud together to test for flow and if it sounded to her what she actually wanted to get across. But we stayed away from editing word selection or anything that wasn’t a blatant grammar error because it needs to be the voice of a 13/14 year old.[/quote]
