[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't work in admissions but do review applications for summer programs for college students. Many write about their race or sexual orientation related to underserved communities. But there are so many essays like this now that they don't stand out. I'm pretty liberal and I find it tiresome. Agree with pp that you are looking for authenticity not hot topics. [/quote] Essay reader here and I agree. For some reason applicants have the notion that they need to trauma dump or talk about race/sexuality. I had an essay I read this year that had me laughing so hard, it was about this applicants job at CVS. They took the most mundane and made hilarious observations and wove in what they had leaned and it was most certainly that they didn’t want to work at CVS as a career. [/quote]
