[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am only looking for a coach, but one thing I am sure of: an English teacher is not enough! It has to be someone who knows what colleges are looking for. It’s a genre in and of itself.
I am going through the YouTube videos of someone called The College Essay Guy. I have no idea if he takes clients but he has some good ideas. [/quote]

This whole discussion is sad to me. It sounds like gaming the system.

Your kid's essay is supposed to be about: your kid. Not "what colleges are looking for." It is also supposed to demonstrate his or her creativity and writing ability.

If only wealthy people embraced a fair playing field and ethics. But no, they spend their days whining about being "unhooked" or Asian. About donut holes and their private schools not allowing their kids to take AP's.

Sigh. Yes, if only wealthy people embraced a fair playing field. If only being unhooked, white or Asian didn’t exclude you and if only being athletic, a minority, or first generation (or someone who claims to be one of those things), didn’t include you.  This IS a legit issue for lots of students. [/quote

Your categories do not exclude me. I am white, not first generation nor is my child an athlete...I just believe in fairness.

Sometimes it is really not all about getting a leg up over others. [/quote]

It’s not my categories. It’s the schools’ if you’re as you state, the system isn’t fair. It’s just the way it is. And if you think it’s only unfair bc of how the wealthy play the game, you’re wrong. The wealthy try to game the system (as you think) because it’s unfair…their actions aren’t what makes it unfair. [/quote]
