[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of state schools don't read essays.  When you are admitting tens of thousands of kids, who cares or has time to differentiate?[/quote]

Just make the essays shorter by imposing a word limit; for example, a word limit of 2 might produce a great Why Clemson essay composed of "Go Tigers ".

[b]If anyone needs help composing a two word limit essay for Indiana, Penn State, or UVa, I think that I can help[/b].[/quote]
Gaslight much? Clemson's overall national rankings are not on the same level as Penn State for sure. [/quote]

Lol Penn State and Indiana are nothing like selective privates. Clemson and Penn State are about the same level. Clemson has lower acceptance rate.[/quote]

Manipulating acceptance rates is easy, just make the essay optional and you have more apps to reject. At the end of the day they’re both cow colleges. [/quote]

LOL personal essay is optional and there's an optional one essay which is a similar topic as the personal essay for Penn State. Big deal lol[/quote]

So you’re saying both are a joke? lol [/quote]

Nope I was saying essays are joke.[/quote]

Translation: Almost all respectable colleges require an essay but my college doesn’t. Therefore, instead of admitting my college is a joke, I think essays are a joke and all those actual respectable colleges are wrong. [/quote]

It's a joke that at any college you don't even know who actually wrote it.[/quote]

How do you know that the AO doesn’t know? Obviously they disagree with you and think you’re wrong [/quote]

WTF do you mean?
AO doesn't know because AO wasn't there when kids were writing it.

For SAT, we at least know the kids actually took it. [/quote]
