[quote=Anonymous]Except for a few, my kid’s essays were pretty bad. And he is consistently a outstanding writer in school (and nailed his AP exam). But I think he hasn’t had any experience bragging about himself and it was full of cliches. I know it was hard enough for him to write, and with Honors applications too, there were so many. I told him maybe he could be a little more specific and write as he would talk. I never looked at revisions (if he even did). In the end he did not ED UVA but he just could not give up the remote chance he would get into UCLA. So it will be a long 3 months finding out from the main schools. He did already get acceptances to his safeties with great merit but they were real safeties and he hopes to get into one of the 6. Fingers crossed and hoping it doesn’t come down to essays.[/quote]
