[quote=Anonymous]You're thinking about it all wrong. Its the "boring" essays about every day things that give insight into an applicant that are more successful. Over and over again I've seen students who consider themselves strong writers who write overwrought essays in which they think they have to come up with something dramatic write really awful essays and I know of one applicant who probably didn't get into a dream school because of it. My DS is a great writer but started to fall into this trap. Fortunately his college advisor reviewed the essay. he struggled but ended up writing about something very simple but in a beautifully written way and got into the college of his choice. I don't think there's any harm in having someone who knows what they are doing review the essay but you do have to be careful about the whole packaging thing and whether these folks will lead your DC in the wrong direction.[/quote]
