[quote=Anonymous]Be realistic. Someone spends 2 minutes reading the essay. One in a thousand kids may stand out, but you have no way of knowing what will stand out at that moment for that individual reader who’s assigned your kid’s application. The vast majority of kids are not going to write themselves in or out of college. Your kid should write essays that reflect who they are, not agonize about what some hive mind “wants,” and try to drive herself crazy. -Just went through this with HS senior, essays were nothing special, she got in ED.
