[quote=Anonymous]Tailor essays to the personality/ethos/mission of each school. Ie Georgetown - emphasize service and fit with Jesuit values. Michigan - leadership, citizenship. Stanford - entrepreneurship. Brown - free thinking & independence. I could go on, but emphasizing the same set of values for every school will only hurt. Have a few core ones, but tailoring is key. No "dream schools." ED to the favorite and best fit, but don't let your kid become emotionally attached. Get pen to paper quickly. Have your kid sit down for 10 minutes and just dump their initial thoughts after reading a prompt. The SCOIR data typically doesn't lie. It might sting, but if the data looks unfavorable, it's unlikely that your child will be the exception. [/quote]
