The essay was a paragraph.  I doubt they even cared about it that much.[/quote]

Actually the essay and achievements section was key. Otherwise how do students differentiate themselves? It’s bizarre to me that some people don’t see this. They only get to look at 7th and 8th grade MAP scores, STEM grades for 7th and 8th grade and the essays/achievements. Clearly the writing is what differentiates many of the kids. My own kid has an excellent essay with a very unique hook, all As and a MAP below the median of admitted students. The essay got him in at Blair and four other magnets.[/quote]

How do you know whether it was essay, or achievements, or both, or neither (random tiebreaker, geographic balance, whatever)?[/quote]

The essay and the achievements section were the differentiator. They didn’t have any other info to use to make the decision.[/quote]

The essay was a paragraph.  The essay is not going to be it all. [/quote]
