[quote=Anonymous] You can't let this go, OP. This IS something worth persuading/bribing/threatening your daughter over. I can promise you that admissions officers read essays - it's fine if there are stylistic errors and awkward parts, actually. It has to be your child's voice, and not someone else's, and they are perfectly aware that children don't have much experience writing about themselves. They've very good at identifying editing from other people :-) But she has to work on CONTENT. What did she learn from her experiences? They're looking for maturity and perspective on whatever she did. That's very different from writing style. It's about whether her thoughts are interesting. Ultimately, they can tell who is smart and who isn't. [/quote]
