[quote=Anonymous]I see the objections to the importance of the essay, and I say that having had a kid whose essay (uncoached, written entirely by her with only a quick read from English teacher and me) is surely part of the reason she got in to a super competitive school. That said, I think that most components of the holistic admissions lens potentially favor kids of means. They key is how much they are used to understand "context" and how much they are used to add more shiny baubles to an otherwise strong application.[/quote]
