[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us the topic.[/quote] OP here. I won't get specific, but she mentions a popular childhood book series she enjoyed. And she relates it back to her own life in a cheesy way. I can't think of a way to make it less cheesy, and I also don't think it relates to her life in a in a helpful or interesting way. The actual writing/grammar is fine. The college counselor and teacher had her add more personal details, but I think the topic is just really cringey. [/quote] We had a kid who did that at our high school and got into every single ivy. The English dept uses it as the sample admissions essay now at the school. Perhaps your daughter attend that school, and is trying to emulate the sample essay, when what made that one special was that it was unique and represented who the original writer was.[/quote]
