[quote=Anonymous][quote]run-of-the-mill essays,[/quote] We really can't know if essays are run of the mill, or average, unless we've read the essays of every other applicant to that school. Essays are read and judged within the context of the applicant pool. Admissions officers have different standards for judging the essays they read than a high school English teacher or even other admissions counselors. A lot depends on the quality of the many other essays they are reading. In addition, an applicant who has "outstanding grades in tough classes" is likely to be a good writer. [/quote]
