[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Denison is on that Forbes list as “no essay required.” After DS applied RD, Denison asked him to complete a Why Denison essay to stay in the running, despite the fact that he has a very high GPA. So as far as I can tell, the “no essay” requirement is a way to maximize applications while still requiring an essay of the kids they would like to accept (or, they will reject and yield protect if the kid doesn’t submit the essay). [/quote] This response is so arrogant and self-entitled. The kid was given an opportunity to explain why he should be picked over the thousands of other kids who also have a very high GPA and Mom/Dad complains about it. Unweighted GPAs only go to 4.0 and Denison has an average of 3.8 so there are thousands with 4.0s applying. Just wow! [/quote] So the applicant was lucky to have the “opportunity” to apply to one of the few schools with a bait and switch essay requirement?[/quote]
