[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a mid-tier school, this seems annoyingly pretentious. [/quote] How is that pretentious. The kids are most likely writing the common app anyway - but those who don't now know they don't have extra work. They must feel that the common app essay prompts don't inform their process. They only have so much time. Many schools have supplements - so they aren't out of the norm there. [/quote] They are out of the norm for not reading the common app essay at all. They have to know that 99% of the applicants did write a common app essay and put a lot of time and effort into it. It works for almost every school in the country, but VT has decided that they won't read it. Every one of their supplements touches on a common app theme - they aren't unique. And my kid got into VT last cycle so I am not bitter, I just think its lame.[/quote]
