[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids were high stats kids and decent writers but the college essays were like pulling teeth. That type of self reflection is super awkward for a lot of kids (and adults) especially when the stakes feel so high.[/quote] 100% agree. For kid 1 I ended up writing them and for kid 2 we hired a coach that didn't write them but steered them heavily. One is at a selective private and one a selective public.[/quote] How are they doing with college level writing? (Sincere question, not snark, as this is a big concern I have for my senior)[/quote] They will be fine for majority majors. This types of writing is never required in the future for most students. For example, Grades school application essays are completely different and don’t require nearly as much reflection. DC was a solid student and did everything on their own except for college app essays. Now graduated and study at MIT as a PhD student. [/quote]
