[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She spent an afternoon on what I thought would be the first draft, but she said she’s done, refused to edit or take feedbacks for even slight changes to improve the flow.  She has good stats and is applying to some selective schools, I feel it is a waste of the application fee by not taking the essay seriously. 
It has been two weeks and she insists she doesn’t need help with her essay.  What can I do?[/quote]

OP: You are wrong.

Your daughter is mature enough to understand that college admissions wants to read her work product, in her voice, revealing her thoughts and other qualities about her.

Moreover, your daughter may be revealing information about herself that she prefers to remain unknown to her parents. Could be about sexual orientation,about an experience unknown to her parents,about her family life, or about anything that she wishes to remain private from immediate family members, friends, and teachers.

OP: If you want to proofread and edit her college essays, then tell me what you think college admissions' officers are looking for in an applicant's admissions essays. [/quote]
