[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of services do you offer?

- were these for apps due this week or months from now? If the former, I don’t know of experienced/well know essay readers who take on last minute clients so I’m assuming you took on last minute clients (which says something about you AND the kid) or were lax in mandating earlier deadlines from your clients.

- what did you do for these clients other than post about it here?[/quote]

Op here. Sorry - just back here now after the last few ED are in today.

I posted that this weekend as an FYI only - after conducting "Application Reviews" for the last fourteen days (our national firm takes on a fixed number of these in late October and late December, and it's somewhat easy to spot these issues). These clients were not full or comprehensive clients - just applicants who purchased ED1/EA reviews (Michigan was the most common EA school) and were hoping for a marked-up Common App. I provided each of them with comments over the last week or so; it's unclear what the final product looked like when submitted. Had I (or anyone else) read or been involved with the personal essays earlier, I'm confident they also would have spotted these issues.

I stand by the robotic nature of AI-influenced essays - the candidates were from around the country, and all sounded eerily similar - in a way that generally has not happened before. The AI glaze, as I call it, is real. Your eyes glaze over, and there is nothing at all memorable other than the "sizzling rice" or "spitting oil".

Anyway, the original point was for parents to read those personal statements. They shouldn't sound great or perfect. They should sound like a conversation with your kid - and tell the AO something important about them. GL to all of your children over the application season.
