[quote=Anonymous]The thing is if your kid is the top of the class/top stats, you can’t really just wing it. Once you meet the baseline for grades and stats it doesn’t really mean much. So if your kid is planning on applying to many T20 schools, they really should be starting the research on each of the supplemental for each school over the summer. Continue to refine. Dig deep. Sign up to the school newspapers, go to the departmental websites, find events at the university that might interest them. The problem is these kids try to do all of it in a 10 day period in late December and truthfully it’s just painfully obvious how shallow those supplemental essays are. They never work. I have yet to see a really good supplemental essay for a top school that was done in a very short period of time. Why? Because they don’t go deep. The best essays are soaked in the fabric of the school, the intimate details that take a lot of time and research to develop.[/quote]
