[quote=Anonymous]"I'm an editor at a very well-known publication. You've probably read things I've worked on. My son's essay was objectively very good. It wasn't a function of grammar and spelling, though; the essay was good because of topic selection, focus and impact. A stranger could read that essay, find it compelling and want to meet the kid who wrote it. Which, I guess, it what happened because he got into his target school." THIS!!! Lots of people think the essays are supposed to be where students showcase their wonderful grammar and spelling. Wrong![/quote]
