[quote=Anonymous][quote]The key concept that's missing here is customized essays. All other things being equal, admissions officers have a harder time refusing someone who can express enthusiasm with particular courses/professors, or something specific about that college. It's cheaper than a visit and a lot more powerful. Also, keep in mind that the Common App allows this: since you click submit for each college separately, you can tweak your personal statement each time. [/quote] Please stop posting about this - you show up on every thread recommending standardized essays. Many, many people have told you it's not necessary and virtually every kid gets into schools without doing this. Your kids are probably the only ones in the entire DMV that DID do this. It's a waste of time. If schools want customized essays, they include supplemental essays as part of their applications.[/quote]
