[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. The essays are a complete waste of time, energy and brain power on everyone’s part- kids, parents, essay editors, AOs.

2. AOs can’t even read all the essays- some get skipped, skimmed or read by AI instead.

3. Who knows who’s writing them anymore?

4. All people need to write and communicate effectively… but NOT in the way these essays are written. In science/health, the best writing is succinct, uses simple words, and clearly states the points (tell, don’t show!)
Only future novelists need to excel at hooks, creative writing, metaphor writing, show not tell. Writing this way in science would not get a published paper. And would not enable patients to understand what you’re saying. Could you imagine your doctor giving your diagnosis in a “show don’t tell way with a creative hook”???  You’d fire that doctor!

5. If they must have an essay, one common app essay is enough.

6. But better to scrap the essay altogether bc it’s completely useless.

7. 4 yrs of hard work should count way more than an AI/editor/parent-written/edited essay

8. Maybe just give more space in the EC list and kids can bullet point lessons they learned

9. Instead of writing 30 essays, these young, able, bright kids could be doing something useful for the world or for their own health - like sleeping, exerting, volunteering, socializing, working, studying, anything besides wasting it in these useless essays.

10. Rant done [/quote]
