[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be realistic. The essay is just one small factor in the whole process. [b]I agree that admissions folks know whether a kid's essay is authentic.[/b] I think they should be considered as one small piece of the puzzle, along with grades, test scores, ECs, and recommendations. [/quote] Honestly, i don't know if they really know if the voice is authentic. True confession: my kid got extensive help with their essay. It still sounded like it came from a high schooler and it really paid off. Of course, my kid wrote most of it, but some structural suggestions and one clever metaphor came from others. I don't feel bad about this. [/quote]
