[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently went to a college information session with multiple schools. One of the panelist said to the students in the audience to triple check your spelling, write your own essay and triple check grammar and sentence structure. But then he said any application/essay that does not understand the distinction between 'your' and 'you're' will be immediately discarded. The other panelists nodded strongly in agreement. I have never heard such a statement at an information session but was actually glad to hear it though the students in the audience were totally silent and stone faced. Some may call the panelists 'grammar nazis' but they are the ones who make the decisions. Kudos to the panelists! They must be seeing the incorrect usage too frequently.[/quote] I totally support this, being a grammar nazi myself. When my older kid was applying to colleges, I proofread all essays just to be safe. I plan on doing this with the younger kid, too.[/quote]
