[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus people get so hysterical. People have been cheating on the essay forever- doesn’t mean we should retire it.

Your kids will need to write essays to get into lab research, internships, fellowships, grad/professional school, clubs, scholarships, and more. If they do not begin learning how to write about themselves, they will quickly fall behind everyone else.[/quote]

I don't understand, it's not as if kids can't use AI to help write up lab research, apply for internships and grad school, scholarships, etc. I hate to break it to you, but even professional writers are currently using AI. I don't like it either, but that is just the reality.[/quote]
Okay? So keep the essay then. It’s about producing the most convincing reason to get the opportunity, not the actual writing.

It’s clear to me a lot of people haven’t been listening to AOs for a decade or longer. Your writing can be mundane and plain, they’re looking for reasons to bring you on to campus.[/quote]
