[quote=Anonymous]I help HS seniors with their essays and what I tell them is that the essay is a/often the only way for colleges to get a sense of their personalities. A million kids play high level lacrosse/piano/do a ton of clubs/volunteer, right? But in an essay, the schools get to hear their “voice”. Quirky is good if you are quirky. If you’re not, just wrote a straightforward essay about something you care about! The most important thing it seems to me is letting your child’s personality shine through- authenticity. Even if that means it’s a little awkward or not perfect. [/quote]
