[quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised to read this. I would not dream of writing an essay for my kid. He's working on it on his own...did brainstorm a bit with me but that's it. At this point, he does not want to show it to me. Is going to share with English teachers at school. He said he may have me read it because he's not sure he trusts his English teacher on content. If he does, I'll only proof or point out something if it seems awkward. He's applying to top schools; I was thinking essays do matter and was suspecting that admissions officers are good at detecting authentic student voice. Do find the 20+ supplemental essays to really be excessive. How can kids applying to 10 schools come up with reasons why each one is the perfect place for them?[/quote]
