[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid didn’t do any optional essays or “why X” essays for college or grad school. Accepted to 2 pretty significant reach schools for undergrad (and 6 of 7 colleges applied to) and also got into a few top 10 grad programs with same “no extra BS” approach. To be honest, more surprised about the undergrad outcome than the grad outcome which included even more prestigious schools. [/quote] How many years ago was this, if they're already into grad school? At some point, if your kid's experience was pre-COVID, it's about as relevant as my experiences in the 1990s.[/quote]
