Check out this post by a college admissions counselor [/quote]

That essay is terrible. No respectable teenager would know who the "f" Pete Seeger is for starters.  Now of course the bright kids can anticipate and research.  But come on.  This does not read like something a creative bright kid would write.  I would anticipate some kind of teenage attempt to discuss the sentiment of "carpe diem".  After completing sophomore year college French, I might have dropped "Ou sont les neiges d' antan" (Where are the snows of yesteryear) into a reswoody.  None of us are Boomers so the likelihood of effectively relating to the context is low.

I certainly wouldn't expect a kid to write that.  Unless the prompt was: "Pretend you're an unfunny, pedantic grownup who loves meaningless turns of phrase.  Be sure to come up with a pat conclusion for the college essay editor to discard."

"Title: A Blossoming Inquiry: "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"

While Pete Seeger might have been musing on the tragic cycle of war in his poignant ballad, I find myself humming the same tune while contemplating the question, "Where have all the flowers gone?" in a more literal sense. It's a blossoming mystery, a root-deep inquiry that's been niggling at my green-thumbed heart."

So much fake in this.  Basic theme boils down to: flowers grow and are seasonal.  Please tell me that nobody thinks that is niggling at any teenager's heart.  Or that any teenager is humming Pete Seeger songs.

It's an elegantly-written steaming pile of doody.[/quote]
