[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are fooling yourself if you think admissions can’t tell when a parent heavily orchestrates the essay. Better to let him write it himself, in his own style, in a way that sounds like a 17 year old boy.[/quote] I know kids who got into Brown, Yale and UMD CP with essays written/heavily edited by their parents. So, at least some of the admission officers in those places can't tell. But seriously, they can probably spot the work of someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Or someone who is writing too many essays for too many kids. But there is no way they would catch a one off by a parent who knows how to write. Keep in mind that the students in question have the stats for the schools, so it's not like someone with an SAT of 1000 submitting an amazing essay.[/quote]
