[quote=Anonymous]Depending on the series, that could be a good essay. If the series is Harry Potter, then that’s not as good as if the series is something a little more unique. If the series is the Wimpey Kid books or the Betsy-Tacy books, that might catch an admissions officer’s eye if the essay is done well. I think you need to be careful because if you tell her to write something else and she doesn’t do a good job, she will blame you. She is going to have to write supplemental essays as well, no? So maybe you could start brainstorming with her about ideas for those essays, and see if any of them spark excitement enough in her that she may want to use that for her main essay. I think your best bet is to tell her she did a great job with the topic but that you wonder if there is a more compelling topic she could run with.[/quote]
