[quote=Anonymous]"OP, just a head's up that I got into my top choice schools with an essay my parents thought was bad but I thought was okay. I refused to change it because I liked what I'd written. Apparently it was good enough for the admissions department. If you want to give your daughter feedback on *why* you think it's bad (too purple? too boring?) it's on her to fix it, but just saying "you need to try harder" when she thinks it's good is a bit ridiculous. And her submitting something you think is bad is definitely not necessary the end of the world." Usually, when someone makes this point, it turns out their "top choice school" was a place like Michigan State. It's neither selective nor does it place much, if any, emphasis on the essay. [/quote]
