[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WE are applying. Some schools don't even ask for DC to fill out a single thing. Other schools have us write more essays than DC. They are definitely looking for families and make that clear in all of their paperwork and on their website. [/quote]

Younger child?

For HS kids, THEY have essays.  Parents are not supposed to help.,[/quote]

You really don't believe that parents don't help right? That's pretty funny! Do you turn in work without having anyone read it over at least once? Not even the CEO at my company does that. LOL[/quote]

One of the schools my DC is applying to had the kids write at the shadow visit.  I suspect that is their way to figure out if the kids are actually writing their own essays.

And, yes, my child IS writing her own essays.  She's a great student and a decent writer.  If she gets in, it will be on her merits.  She will not have cheated.  If she doesn't, we have a great public option.  Maybe it's different if you are desperate.  She is not.[/quote]

Right!!! She could care less, she is applying just to fill the time. Wonder if she will also submit her college app essays without anyone reading them? Suspect after she doesn't get in to a good HS she will have to. But I'm sure she won't be desperate for tha either and your local community college is an option.[/quote]
