[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are going through it but I truly wonder whether these essays are really important. Do the admissions officers ever include or exclude an applicant based on the essay. Or do they make us do these essays to weed out those who really want it versus those who are just casually looking. [/quote] But are there people who are just casually applying or mailing it in? I would have thought the process itself weeds those people out, so I imagine every family is submitting well thought out essays - and I hope the school is reading them and has thought about what it wants to see in the answers, otherwise there really is no point![/quote] Based on some of the stories I have heard from our admissions people there are definitely families who get to interviews (which means your application is very close to done at our school) who really have no idea what the school is all about. I'd consider mailing that in.[/quote]
