[quote=Anonymous]For all three of my kids (all accepted ED to t15s) it took a couple tries to get to the essay that popped, so they each wrote 2-4 different draft essays. They worked with me and an outside cc to get the narrative to be cohesive but we also really tried to maintain the magic of their original voice. For my reluctant writer, it helped that he was writing about experiences that he truly loves. I agree that not all English teacher advice is worth following. One of my kid’s strongest teachers had advice that would have made his essay boring and generic, good for an English paper but not for a personal statement. I also agree that it’s best to try to avoid the overdone topics, grandparents, sports, service trip etc. [/quote]
